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 1894. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
The letter was shoved in her Potions textbook he found in the common room, late one evening when no one was around to see him put it there.

Hi Sloane,
I thought you did a really good job at the last Quidditch match. You are so good at diving I almost thought you would die but then you didn't. Also I think your hair looks nice. I just thought you should know these things. You don't need to write back but if you do, you can leave me a note in the blue book on the common room shelf The Fat Friar and the Well of Honour cos nobody reads it.
Really! How long have you been flying for? I still think you did a great job with the match. You’re really good. Do you think you will do Quidditch forever?
Well, we all have to keep our secrets. And honest I don’t know if you want to meet me in person. People think I’m funny. Not in a funny way.
I've been flying since I was... two? I think. My dad played professionally and now he coaches. One of my brothers also plays and another is a broommaker. It sort of runs in the family. My mom works in the broom regulatory office too. And another brother works in Magical Games and Sports. I have a lot of brothers, four to be exact.
I don't know if I'll play forever, but I would like to try. If I don't make a professional team though, I want to be a magizoologist. What do you want to do?
Oh I doubt that! My hair used to turn different colors with my moods, can't get much more funny than that.
Sorry do you prefer Miss Bixby or Bixby or Sloane? By the way names x’s in them are the best. My mom used to say they are very strong names.
That is so cool you’ve been flying basically as long as you’ve been walking. I wish I had a few brothers especially older than me. It would be nice. Right now I just have a little sister but she lives far away with our evil stepfather.
Magizoolist is also really cool. What’s your favorite animal of all time? I like dragons, but also nifflers. I never really thought about what I would want to do. Maybe something with dragons or maybe something that lets me be outside a lot.
Wait. What kind of hair colors? Like blue or something? But that’s funny in a good way. What if you get your hair really red for the next match, it will be like you are the Gryffindor champion!
