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.

I'm desperate for threads with @"Benevolence Montague"- my lovely little MCPB plant breeder. How would Ursula like a plant that has opioid effects that she can sniff in her own orangery? Other good and bad effects to be determined. I would imagine that Ursula would probably use a pureblood florist where she can, even if she's as dismissive as all heck with her because ew....middle class working woman - but also no threat.
Or anyone else that would any cause to cross paths with Benevolence.
Pet and Madeleine Backus might cross some paths these days, Maddie is attending some society events and is living with a Russian family in Hogsmeade, after spending a number of months in St. Petersburg. Some Russian conversations? Also Maddie could do with someone to talk to at events - ex-prefects for life.
I'd also throw Maddie in as a friend or acquaintance of anyone who would socialise with a Half blood with an inheritance coming.
Ginevra Blackwood and Antigone were in the same year - not the same house but both UC purebloods- Vera probably attempted to drag Tig to parties and gossip and would ignore pretty much all taciturn rejections of invitations. I would imagine they ran in similar social circles as kids/young adults and Vera is willful in her own way.

Ursula's actually sober at the moment and wouldn't request anything like that on account of her pride and also privacy. However, she may very well be a customer of the usual flower buying variety! Not sure that lends itself to any particularly thrilling interactions though. Off the top of my head I could maybe offer Theo for something although I'm not quite sure what, I'm just basing that off of close in age and same social class x3 Any thoughts?

I'm definitely up for threading these two, I quite like the idea of them sort of becoming better acquainted post-Hogwarts because the change in situation has thrown them together in such a way as to give them an opportunity to get to know each other properly despite having attended school together for years if you know what I mean? Assuming that they actually do bond! Pet's fairly easy going but if they don't seem to have much in common then she'll probably be a bit reserved as opposed to hitting it off straight away.

I thiiiink Ginevra was actually in the year above Tig not that that makes a big difference. However, I'm really not sure they're likely to have clicked like at all? I think they're a bit chalk and cheese so in that respect they could be entertaining in a thread together. Tig doesn't actually have an aversion to social events she's just lost interest in recent times but regardless she'd probably turn nasty and/or straight up violent if Ginevra tried to bully her into doing something she didn't want to do. Of course that's assuming they're on friendship terms which I'm really not convinced they would be, especially as Ginevra's profile says "She would rather spend her time with muggles borns of good character than purebloods who think too highly of themselves." and Tig is very much the latter and always has been. I'm happy to thread them but I just can't see Tig being on friendly terms with her at all unless I'm grievously misunderstanding Ginevra's character in which case please set me right :P
