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.
They were coming down to it now, and with two aurors stood before him, Nikolai Sleptov had high hopes for a particularly engaging—and skilled—duel. It was rather a shame, he thought, that Rosier and Woodcroft would not be coming up against one another in the final round, but there was hardly anything Nik could do about that. Quickly, he reviewed the rules, knowing both gentleman would know them backwards and forwards by now.
This was it. Only two more opponents to take down before he would receive bragging rights once more and, for once, he had a worthy opponent in the form of another auror. Granted it wasn't one he would socialise with - honestly the Ministry let anybody in these days - but he was an auror nevertheless so he warranted a bow.
Acting fast Enoch attempted to confound the other man.
Enoch Roiser. There was no love lost between the two aurors, hadn’t been since their school days when Hudson had been a year behind Roiser in their house. He was one of those aurors who had decided he wanted to work instead of enjoy his cushy life of wealth, not someone who had to work to simply survive.
At least he would prove to be someone worth dueling, Hudson thought as he readied himself. After the obligatory bow (Roiser looked rather sour at that particular piece of decorum) Hudson cast revulsion jinx hoping to knock Roiser back and in the process drop his wand.
