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?

I hear that congratulations are in order. Do you have a thing for your cousins? Just wondering.

Well I already have some evidence, as you may recall.
Don't be rude. My first reaction was to congratulate you.
Oh, well, if you like it:
I won't claim to know any of our younger cousins well, but from what I've heard Miss Lestrange is much smarter than I am. She is also a testament to our collective good-breeding in a way that no one has ever accused me of, and is by all accounts a polite and charming young woman.
In addition to our obvious differences (my being a man, for one, and my general tendencies towards recklessness gambling etc.) I suspect that I am more irritating but also more charming, and I suspect I have more experience in several specific areas than your bride-to-be does.
I hope this comparison is pleasing to you.
Very clarifying, thank you.
I had an additional actual question. Has anyone dabbled in potions for the diseases of the mind (alcoholics, laudanum users, et cetera) and to what level of success?
Oh, don't worry, darling, this exchange was more for fun than for a favor. I also never said this potion was for me, but you appear to have ferreted me out nonetheless. What if I was just academically curious?
In the interest of this favor: what sort of side effects? I am not sure exchanging one problem for another would do anyone any good.
As you know, I fairly famously don't have money.
