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.

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour: August Flavors
Alongside the permanent traditional flavors always offered, this month’s seasonal flavors include:
Bluebell Bonanza - A lovely shade of periwinkle that tastes like sweet cream, honey, and crushed bluebell flowers. It may leave a faint sparkle on your lips for several minutes
Firework Ripple - A vanilla base with chunks of cherry and crackling cinnamon swirls. Warning: crackling cinnamon will absolutelymay burst from the scoop and cause (mostly) harmless sparks.
Blackberry Bramble Hex - Very deep purple, this fruity flavor is mixed with swirls of juniper. It makes your breath come out in violet puffs. May also stain lips purple for a few hours.
Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour is located on the North Side of Diagon Alley, next to the Second-Hand Bookshop.

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour: September Flavors
Alongside the permanent traditional flavors always offered, this month’s seasonal flavors include:
Silver Serpent Swirl - Blackcurrant and dark chocolate ganache in a mint-infused cream, with a twist of absinthe-laced licorice. The mint leaves behind a cool, silky aftertaste. Some exhales carry a barely visible wisp of greenish mist. Harmless, but can be deeply unnerving to some.
Bluebell Ink - Earl Grey cream steeped with sugared violet, honeycomb shards, and blueberry preserve. The last bite always gives a fleeting spark of clarity about something you've been puzzling over.
Hearth & Herb - Lemon-thyme shortbread with golden honey, marzipan, and a hint of chamomile cream. For the next hour or so, your fingers stay toasty warm.
Lionheart Ember - Spiced cinnamon toffee ripple with roasted cherry and clove, folded into a warm vanilla base. Every bite warms you slightly from the inside out, like standing close to a bonfire. The toffee pieces crackle faintly on the tongue, like embers catching.

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour: October Flavors
Alongside the permanent traditional flavors always offered, this month’s seasonal flavors include:
Pumpkin Patch Crunch - roasted pumpkin cream with ribbons of spiced caramel and candied pumpkin seeds.
Blood Orange Bite - a bright, citrusy orange ice cream dotted with enchanted cinnamon specks. The first bite tastes fine, but the cinnamon slowly warms as you eat, creeping up until your mouth feels like it’s on fire. It will stain your lips and skin bright red, so be careful not to drop any.
Cobweb Cotton - spun-sugar threads folded into vanilla cream, so light they dissolve before your spoon reaches your mouth.
Licorice Hex - a smooth, dark chocolate base with black licorice folded in. Every few bites the flavor switches to something entirely different (such as, but not limited to: pumpkin, treacle, peppermint, and the ever so popular pickled onion.) It’s never the same flavor twice.
Recommended for the non-living only:
Rotten Fruit Ripple - made specifically for ghosts, this ice cream is really just fermented figs, blackened pears, and overripe grapes; made so ghosts can (hopefully) actually taste it.
