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.

One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn
If he was being completely honest, the situation didn't look good, but Sylvano was not in the habit of being completely honest about anything. No reason to start now.

It seems we are both being labeled failures in this week's edition. I am appalled — but I am positive Louise did not write an entry to Lonely Hearts, and at the very least we know for certain your Jude didn't write his own article for Witch Weekly. I would find that most unsettling, but I'm afraid they're just trying to smear his name, and by extension yours.
Still. Perhaps we ought to meet soon, decide what is to be done about these slanderous scribblings. You can rest assured I will be having a talk with Louise.
I expected Witch Weekly to write a piece about my Jude, so it came to no surprise to me. As for your girl, I am sure that she has not written, but even if she has, one can hardly tell who has submitted these entries. To be honest to you, dear, I half believe that these entries are fake, done as an elaborate ploy by Witch Weekly to see who is that desperate to find someone.
How does tea on the 14th sound? I confess that I am rather curious what my failure of a son has to say at the Ministerial debate, and afterwards we could have some of the lonely scones in that London cafe we found last time.
Tea sounds lovely, but I won't be meeting you at the debate. My husband, however, will be attending, as he is the one with the vote. I prefer to let him form his own opinions on people.
