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.

I hope that you are well. I hear our son has been named prefect for Gryffindor house—I expect a gift of some sort is in order, but confess that I am rather at a loss. Any guidance you might have in this department would be appreciated.
On the topic of gifts, I have secured a kitten for Anne to take to school with her—I hope that this does not step upon any toes. If convenient, I should like to deliver it in person, and perhaps spend an afternoon with her next week-end.
Ned is likely to become the dueling club president this fall; I suspect he would very much enjoy something related. He still plays club Quiditch as well -- I'll be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss with the interests of teenage boys, which is unfortunate in this case!
I am sure Anne will love a kitten. Next weekend works.
I have secured a copy of Karkaroff's Dueling Compendium that I think shall do the trick. I shall leave it with my compliments when I come to see Anne. Thank you for the suggestion regarding his interests.
