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.

I regret to inform you that it is official: I shall be taking after Uncle Andren forthwith. Expect to receive letters about all the hijinx I get up to, and resign yourself to my budding quidditch career now.
I jest of course, but I am indeed in Hufflepuff! I was rather saddened to be sorted separately from Sirius Black (expected) and Cousin Flora (less expected), but I trust in the Sorting Hat's decision, and part of me thought I might be a badger anyways. I write this in my new dormitory(!), where most of us seem too excited to sleep properly. I shall go to the owlry after breakfast tomorrow to send it. I shall have to find out where it is.
Please give my news—and my love—to Uncle Andren and Aunt Delia.
Well sir, I've never met a Hufflepuff I don't like, so you will be in good company. I think you'll fit right in. I do wish you the best of luck in quidditch trials. Let me know how they go and if you need any more equipment for the season, I'll make sure to get you all squared away.
Couldn't be more proud, Rex! Keep practicing hard and let me know if you need any new gear. I will make sure to be available on your Hogsmeade weekend so we can pick up what you need.
Best of luck mate, I'll try to make it to a match or two this year!
