Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1894. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
I need a favor. I think something terrible must have happened to Melody. We went to a party last night but she left before I did and I didn't see where she went or who she was with, and she's not home now and I need to find her. Can I bring Eleanora to stay with you for today? We have the nurse here but — I'd rather she was with family, until I figure out what's happened, and right now you're better equipped to take her in than Aldous or Roman.
I would wish you a felicitous new year if your letter did not imply it was otherwise for you thus far. It grieves me to hear of your alarming predicament, I hope it resolves quickly and as best it can. Your wife seems to have Fortune's favor and great resilience, I am sure she will not have come to any harm.
As to your request, it would be a pleasure to have sweet Eleanora here. She will be well taken care of and have Juliet to keep her company. Of course she is welcome to stay for longer if necessary, she would be no trouble at all.
I'm sorry I didn't write earlier; I'm especially sorry if it caused you any worry when I didn't come by with Nora when you expected. My wife is back home, which has so I no longer need someone to take care of Nora, at least for the moment.
I could use some advice.
Usually I ask Aldous for advice but in this case I think your opinion might be more relevant. I don't want to write the question out. Would it be alright if I came to see you? As soon as you're available, but if you already have plans please don't cancel anything on my account. It's — not urgent, I don't think. Or, I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it right away anyway.
