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.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
School is off to a horrible start. Everything was going so well over break and then this girl’s diary got stolen when we got back to school. She’s an older girl in my house and I didn’t think much of it. But she wrote the most awful things about everyone in school. Everyone is talking about it. I’ve only met the girl once and she helped me find the kitchens, if you remember me mentioning it. But she wrote in her journal that it was awfully odd that I like baking and now everyone is whispering about me. Even Jolie is giving me weird looks. It’s not that weird is it? That I love to bake. Mother always let me and I don’t see why anyone would even care what I do. That I love to bake. Mother always let me and I don’t see why anyone would even care what I do.

Sybille,
I am so sorry to hear about such a horrible experience. Not everyone is open-minded and kind, which is a sad truth. Your baking is wonderful, and it is always good to do what makes you happy - within reason of course. Baking is certainly not harming anyone. Well, unless you get burned. But I do hope that you are taking care to keep yourself safe around ovens of course. People are just bored with their own lives, so poke fun at others to make themselves feel better. It's an awful practice that I am glad you do not participate in.
Perhaps send the girl some cookies. With her own diary going around, I'm sure she feels awful as well. Kindness is always good to warm the hearts of others. And I know that your baked goods are full of love and kindness. Take care, Sybille. I do hope that classes are going well. Are you making friends? I'd be surprised if you haven't.
