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.

Did You Know?
Did you know? Jewelry of jet was the haute jewelry of the Victorian era. — Fallin
"Alaoui shoots a bludger towards the British Keeper but Mundungus MacFusty intervenes! OH MY, as if the MacFusty family doesn't have enough to worry about, looks like MacFusty's lost his footing! He's fallen off his broom!!!
OH, I SAY! Hassani's bludger has more than made contact in its target of Mr. Cardew of the British team! Oh dear, he looks to be in quite a lot of pain! Oh look, he's clutching at his ribs, I — yes, I think one of his ribs is broken! And we thought we'd seen the last of the excitement, Mr. Cardew I'd be worried about a punctured lung if I were you.
My, my the British team is down a chaser and a beater, and we thought we were out of the woods! Perhaps the Moroccan team's luck is changing!"
Suddenly the tables turned, violently. Zakarya wasn't one to celebrate or break concentration during a game but in this one instance he simply couldn't help punching the air triumphantly and shouting in Arabic, "Nice one, Hassani!" at his fellow beater. There was a bludger nearby and he swooped upon it happily, hitting it towards Bixby again while fortune was on their side.
Even drugged and hyped up on pain potions for his knee and shoulder Becks was foggy, but fuck. Two players down in a matter of moments.
He had to be useful.
They were doomed.
Lestrange better catch the snitch soon.
Unfortunately he couldn't be in two places at once so Bixby was on his own. Beckett moved to deflect the bludger hit at Robins towards the Moroccan seeker.

Jack felt the air rushing out of his lungs before the pain of the bludgers impact registered in his brain, the quaffle fell from his fingers. Something was badly wrong - his breaths were coming in short gasps. His time on the first string had been short lived...he couldn't keep playing, he could see the manager calling him in.
In landed in resignation, his breathing ragged. He was out.

Oh shit. Any advantage they had gained from the break in the match was quickly lost, both bludgers having dire effects. MacFusty's fall happened behind her, but she saw the bludger smash into Cardew and leave him forced to land. Two players down, Merlin! Those Moroccans were ruthless; she wouldn't be surprised if they took out the whole team before anyone could catch the snitch. Gritting her teeth, she flew across the mid-field, trying to get close enough to sweep up the quaffle from where Cardew had left it.
He had considered—strongly—sitting this one out, letting Karim take over. The memory of what had transpired in the box to the poor woman (a Mrs. Turnbull, he had learned later) was as burned into his mind as his own identity, and it was with great trepidation that Hassan Sabri had remounted his broomstick. It was, ironically, his father—ever the critic—that had ultimately sealed the deal: having his father add 'quitter' to his list of complaints was not at all appealing.
The seeker knew he was not at his best as he kept an eye out for the snitch, and could only hope he was faring better than Lestrange today.

Shit Cardew was down, he barely watched his teammates reaction before he was diving toward the fallen quaffle, reaching for it as Cardew directed his broom down to the field.

What was it with these fucking English bludgers?! The high of his knock out hit vanished as he surged forward to retrieve the bludger and hit it towards the woman chaser again.
