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.

Dear —,
It sounds like you have higher hopes for me than I do for myself – but thank you for writing, anyway. My dearest dream... I suppose that would be to settle down with a family of my own. I’m sure that doesn’t sound ambitious at all, and I know it’s not a very exciting answer, but it feels just ridiculous enough, coming from me.
You say you are lovelorn, yourself... not too tragically, I hope. What’s your dearest dream?

Dear O,
I suppose from my career. I probably ought to have led with that, in my advertisement: I work. But my profession is... a little physical, and a little dangerous, and not something I can carry on forever.
And afterwards, I don’t quite know what I will do with myself, if it is too late to marry or have a family. Work in a shop, I suppose – but I can’t help but think that sounds very dull to say about the rest of one’s life.
And you? Do you have a plan yet of how you might go about making a name for yourself? Is it accomplishment you’re looking for, or will any fame do?
