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.
Play a character aged 35 or older for one month. Non-humans do not count. Show this by submitting two completed threads started one month (or more) apart. Threads must have at least ten posts, and at least three must be your own.

It’s quite unusual for a caster's patronus to be their favourite animal, but very possible that it will take the shape of a creature they’ve never before seen or heard of. — Amy
Another activity check come and gone! The list of inactive accounts has been compiled and deactivations and list maintenance are underway :) If you lost a character you'd like back, you may post in Maintenance starting Wednesday, 5th June. If you have no currently active characters you can post in maintenance immediately!
(If you lost a character before the AC, you can post there whenever you'd like!)

Hi Charmers! Your friendly neighbourhood Kayte here with the rundown on some activities for June! This list may or may not end up being exhaustive—you know how we roll ;)
In-Character Activities
We have a very healthy roster of IC events for the month of June, with something for all sorts of character to attend! If you have an event idea that doesn't have to be in June, do consider holding onto it until July/August to spread the love! More importantly, though, have fun! <3
Among other activities is the Misses & Matrons Exhibition of Spellcraft. Please note that signups close on Wednesday, June 5th with the contest starting OOC on Thursday, June 6th!
Last but not least, Prefect Season is right around the corner! Played Hogwarts staff will be getting a PM from me later this week regarding recommendations/trash talking. Don't have any candidates to run this year? As always, There's an app for that.
Out of Character Activities
June is looking to be a busy month OOC as well! In addition to Camp Charming (see below), we've got a number of things going on:
We have a Charming Weekend to look forward to this coming Friday-Monday!
Watch Party: Head on over to Discord on June 9th to catch up on/rewatch the first half of Bridgerton season three before part two drops laster in the week! More information in the "Events" area of our members-only Discord.
Movie Night: Head on over to Discord on June 14th to watch Lisa Frankenstein! More information in the "Events" area of our members-only Discord.
Trivia Night is scheduled for June 23rd! This will run for three rounds, and be hosted via Zoom.
The Charming summer raffle kicks off today and runs until the September 1st AC~
Keep your eyes peeled: two roulettes (one for adults, one for the youngins) will be announced in the coming week or two!
Camp Charming 2024
Camp Charming 2024 is officially underway! This year, there are two ways to complete Camp—one focusing on OOC involvement and the other on posting. Both require a little bit of everything though ;)
Please note that...
Starting now, any approved characters can qualify for "Adopt, Don't Shop!". When you reach out to claim this, you'll need a link to the stored ad, a screenshot of the original ad, or a screenshot of the line entry on the Incomings list :)
Many of the upcoming activites this month are counted towards CC ;)
Remember: Staff will keep track of your post counts and OOC activity, but you are responsible for posting a link to your completed thread! Without this, you're not considered a successful Camper.
