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 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Guinevere is a rising debutante whose world has just been flipped upside-down. The sole surviving Frost child, after her brother's mysterious death during the winter break, she now more than ever bears the responsibility of her family's future. Which is all well and good for a young woman with ample fortune ahead of her-- only Eve is homosexual, and ambitious. Dreading the prospect of marrying a man, reluctant to surrender any opportunity at a career in favor of bearing sons, she has returned to Hogwarts in mourning black and wearing a veil of pent-up anxiety.
For Eve I am seeking:
Friends in her year, boys she might have attempted to flirt with before cold-shouldering them in an unexplained panic, girls she might have pined after in secret silence. I would especially like to find someone who perhaps has designs on marrying her for her family's wealth-- an endeavor destined for disappointment.
Any darker souls out there in need of a proper, high-ish profile victim? Her brother could have gotten involved in something he shouldn't have for the excitement and gotten himself killed, or simply been a target, or killed in an accident that somebody doesn't want to come out.
Hallooo!! I unfortunately have frightfully little for you, only Edelweiss Prewett who is my 7th year Gryffindor! She's very kind and a seer so I could see them having been friendly at least throughout their years!
I don't have anything specifically that would suit her but happy to have an awkward dance scene or something with Harrison Knight in the summer as he is about and unattached.
I did think though that her partial mourning won't finish until late June so she won't be able to attend the hogwarts coming out ball so there is possibility of having a late debutante ball with her that either violetta or daesyn might attend.
Matilda Farris was a Ravenclaw the year above, also a house prefect – she was the sort to make all the friends she could but is also sometimes nosy/a bad influence. She's in society now but not super keen on the idea of marrying right away, they could have stayed in touch!
