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.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
Addie flashed the judge a flirtatious smile of her own. He was one of those handsome prewetts, at least the view was good. Adrestia interest ran to the darker spectrum of curses and hexes, this match would involve pulling her punches.
She saluted the other woman, and attempted to cast a jinx Ramdas taught her, it would turn part of the ladies dress into a serpentine coil that would bind her legs and arms, and cover her mouth preventing her from casting.
It was a pity Bianca didn't consider Mr. Prewett when she decided to marry. He was infinitely more pleasing to the eye than Myles and a deal more successful. Ah, the tragedy of hindsight. Turning her attention to a woman she'd seen about, but hardly someone she considered a part of her circle.
Deciding her opponent could use some assistance with her fashion, Bianca aimed for her eyes and cast obscuro, awaiting the black blindfold that would block her opponent's sight.
The embarrassment of losing the first hit was worse than the constricting snakes (though the snakes disgusted the former Gryffindor at least as much as the loss). Narrowing her eyes and focusing on evening the score, Bianca lashed out with an electric bust. Time to see how Miss Dantés looked with singed hair.
Arestia gave her most pleasant and winning smile to Mister Prewett and then again to Mrs Warrington, ever the modest young lady.
In Adrestia's experience attack was the best form of defence, and when in the second position she decided to cast a blinding hex Ramdas had taught her, the other lady would hopefully have no way of targeting her spell through her hazy vision.
The debutante's defence was instead, Fitz noted with pleasant surprise, a wholly effective offence. After waving over a healer to see to Mrs. Warrnington, Fitzroy brightly declared Miss Dantes the victor.
