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 hope you remember but you told me to owl if I ever have need of anything. So here I am. Owling.
Your potion worked a bit too wonderfully so I've had to come up with some other excuse to have need of you I'm afraid. And what I've landed on is that I am of need of your charming company for tea.

Attached is the address of his London flat and a small bundle of flowers comprised of peach blossom and daffodil. Sage Whitby
The flowers are lovely, thank you, I adore the colors. However, I am not quite so sure what it is that I am to do with this address. You say tea, but what sort of lady do you take me for? How will my charming company be of use to you?
I think when one receives an address and an invitation one is meant to go there, Miss Whitby. I know - how shocking of a concept! And even more shocking - company's use is often mutual enjoyment for both parties.
And what do I take you for? How about a beautiful woman who knows what she wants?
You are right on one front, I am a beautiful woman who knows what she wants. I should think I would like to know more about you before I accept your invitation. I did enjoy our visit, as brief as it was, but I'm also not in the habit of showing up to an offered address simply after some careful flattery.
What can I say that will make you feel more comfortable that won't make me sound like a manipulative ass?
So I'll just answer your question.
I became an auror because my father threatened to cut me off and it sounded cool to chase bad guys around and get paid to duel. But honestly, it's a lot more paperwork than I bargained for.
