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.Where will you fall?

When: August 19 @ 7 o'clock
What: Garden of Mysteries Party
Who: Hosted by the Lestranges
Invited are mostly UCPB people with the exception:
What: Academic Salon
Who: Hosted by Emilia Wright, invited at magical academic types. Mostly UC and MC, but 1-3 WC people who have made a name for themselves in these circles would get an invitation.
The way I see it, the invitations would be as follows:
If you're UC and upper middle class: because you'd run in the same circles as Emilia, if she merely knows you have ~academic interests, you'd be invited.
If you're lower MC and WC: because Emilia likely wouldn't personally know you, she'd only invite you if you are a known academic, have published papers, or a UC/upper MC person invited you as a +1.
Cost: Not really, but those in attendance can donate to a Hogwarts scholarship fund that Emilia is keeping.
Where: The Wright family estate, somewhere in England
Why: So the brightest minds can gather and talk science.
When: August 20th
What: Cecily Gallivan's 23rd birthday

Where: The Wrights' country home
Why: To have tea and show off your Charm skills
When: August 15th
What: Ministry Salon
Who: Oz is hosting and invited (some of) the department heads, assistant heads, and other leadership type people. Some areas are notably absent from the invite list and it's not clear if they were intentionally excluded or if Oz forgot those existed/did not consider them important. There is also one (1) woman on the invite list despite this gathering being hosted in a typically male space. Was she invited intentionally to be progressive? Did whoever was sending invitations just not realize she was a woman? Was she invited at all or did she just show up? No one knows and Oz is dodging questions on the subject.
Cost: No
Where: A parlor in London which is available to let for events, with the same general vibe as a gentleman's club — billiards, brandy, cigars, etc.
Why: Ostensibly a venue for Ministerial authorities to discuss their Most Pressing Issues and for Oz to nod sympathetically and promise to address them should he be elected. He is not entirely sure what is actually expected of him here, it just seemed like a Thing to Do when campaigning.
