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 hope you and your brothers are doing well. It was your brothers, right? I haven't heard anything about November in some time, is she well?
I arrived at Benevolence's this morning. She has granted me permission to stay for as long as I may need. As promised, I left her address on the mantle at home. In case you're not able to make it there, I've included it here for you as well.
It is my brothers — specifically, something Aldous needs from me. Not much in the way of progress yet, unfortunately, but I don't expect to be delayed coming home. Not significantly, anyway. I don't know exactly when.
When I talked to your mother she said you were going to see November, which I thought was pretty crazy. I haven't heard anything from her since Christmas, but I believe she and her sons are well.
Please give Aldous my regards. If there's anything I can do to help matters will you let me know? Aldous has been kind to me despite the surprising circumstances. I hope the issue isn't the result of my former betrothal to the American...
My mother suggested I call on November when I went to speak with her. I don't believe either I or your sister would greatly enjoy such a social call. I am, however, relieved to know the emergency doesn't involve her or her sons.
I'm well. Benevolence is a gracious host and is treating me kindly. Are you doing well? If you do receive any indication of when you'll be home please let me know and I'll return too.
Rest assured, this has nothing to do with the American, and there's nothing you could do to speed things along at the moment. I'll let you know as soon as I know about an exact time table for coming home. Soon, promise.
