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
This branch of my networking is specifically for the interests of hurling my characters and gaining potential suitors and suitresses for them. Please do note that I generally gravitate more towards less conventional ways of forming a connection as well as enjoying meet-cutes in general. Also as a general note, I am almost always open for scandal though it depends on both situation and character as some are adopts so I can't go too wild.
For non-hurling plots & connections (including affair hurling for people not included here, hehehe), please hit up my regular networking thread.
