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.
I have made up for my past failing and am now on the Quidditch team! I am a chaser just like you were! I will do my best to get even better so that I can become your suksissor* except in Hufflepuff instead of Ravenclaw. Then I will join your team someday and play for you. Won't that be awesome? It will be a family bisness*. Now I don't have to live in the Forest. I don't know how to farm.
Your future Quidditch hero,
Nat
*he's trying to spell successor and didn't realize he spelled it wrong
*business, see above.
Guess what, Mama! I tried out for the team and got onto it as a Chaser! Just like Theo and Cee did. Is it in our genes? It feels like it with all three of us being Chasers. I hope you are proud of me. At least now I don't have to dissapeer* into the Forest. I don't think I'd be good at living there.
Oh good, now we don’t have to disown you. You can stay a Gallivan after all!
Can’t wait to see you playing for Chudley one day – but I can’t wait even more to see you play for Hufflepuff. You’ll have to let us know and maybe we’ll be able to come and watch you scoring. I’ve never cheered for Hufflepuff before – but Chaser is definitely the best position, so I can make an exception. Well done!
Tell us all about how your first team practice goes. Don’t try and do any crazy tricks just yet. Cee and your mama and I don’t want to have to visit you in the hospital wing.
You would have been lost without me and Cee would have cried, missing me and made you make me a Gallivan again. But if I was disowned would by middle name become my last name? So then I am Nathaniel Silvius?
I will write as soon as I know when a game where family spektors are allowed is going to happen.
And don't worry about the Forest, that's my bisness.
