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'm not sure how to feel about you calling me maddening and stubborn, so I'll just pretend you said charming and left it at that. I think you're charming, too, and all those little things you used to do are so sweet. I doubt you could bore me if you stay just as you are. I nearly wrote here that I can't imagine anyone being with you and wanting to end things, but that would be a little silly, wouldn't it, since I did it myself, even if that was very different. Well, nevermind — I may not understand why anyone would do that but I'm selfishly pleased that they did if it left you free to seduce me.
Of course I'll tell you all about my family. I think you'd like my brother Noble best. He's a potioneer.
You didn't answer me last time: where are you going on your honeymoon? Or more to the point, when will you be back and how soon can I see you?
