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.

Your name has come up recently as a notable potioneer in the area and I am in need of your services. I am a local midwife and I need to produce a potion of... a delicate nature. I am unsure as to whether or not you see fit to make such potions, and I will in no way hold it against you if you are unwilling, but your services would be handsomely rewarded.
I would be amenable to supplying additional information either through owl or in person if you prefer, but I do need the interactions to be discreet, if you don't mind.
I believe I am familiar with the potions you seek. While I do not usually brew such things, but I am willing to do so on a limited basis for clients who know what they are getting into (and for a higher fee than my usual work.) I trust that as a midwife you are familiar with the risks?
I would need to know the weight and height of the patient and approximately how far her condition is.
Cost is not a problem and yes, the possible side effects are familiar.
Height is just over five feet and weight is roughly one hundred ten pounds, very slim build. Development is early, a little over a month, it was caught early.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need anything else.
I can get this to you in five days for [cost]; half in-advance of delivery. Can I owl the potion to the address at which I've been sending your letters?
You will find your full payment enclosed. Your respectable reputation precedes you and I'm hoping this trust extends to your discretion. If this matter were to get out in any way, my business would most certainly be ruined. This address is the place. Thank you for your services.
I have sent the potion you ordered in a separate package. Please let me know if you do not receive it, and if it works out for your client; if this should not be enough, I am willing to provide another dose.
Of course I will be as discrete as possible; I hope I can trust you to be discrete as well.
