September 9, 1889
I know that not speaking with the Ruskin girls in regards to my courtship might have brought on some stress. I apologize. But I am very grateful that you have honored my wishes and waited to speak with them on the matter.

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.Where will you fall?

This year feels like the most stressful one yet. I am glad to be almost done with school. It has only been just over a week, and yet it feels like it's been so much longer. Mother and Father haven't sent me a letter yet, I doubt they're proud.
They don't mind me wanting to be a Healer, it's that I will probably be working with half-breeds. You know how they are. They don't approve of my friendship with Acacia; they really won't approve your your courtship with Mr. Ruskin — not that it bothers you any.
My studies this year have been going alright. I've started going through all the notes I've gathered from the last seven years. I don't know what will be on the NEWT tests, I'd rather be overly prepared than barely prepared at all.
I do wish you would just tell Acacia, Chrysanta, and Orinda that you're courting their father. I can barely hold a conversation with Acacia. I can only look at her when she talks to me; I'm sure she's noticed something is wrong, though I do not think she knows why.
It's easier to not blurt it out to Chrysanta. Please tell them soon, I do not know how much longer I can keep it a secret from Acacia.
