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.

Valerian,
What are you doing tomorrow at dawn? I promise this is more interesting. I'm seconding an honour duel at [address] in Ireland (accessible by floo) between Ben Crouch & one of the Macmillans and we really have a vested interest in no one dying. Want to come make sure that doesn't happen?
Presumably I will be in my bed, recovering from yet another late-night, poorly scheduled shift at work, but then—perhaps not. You know I try not to make a habit of involving myself in other people's affairs, but I must ask: which Macmillan?
People offer to buy me drinks all the time. If you truly desire my presence, you'll have that friend of yours get a hold of a bottle of that maple firewhiskey from Jewell's for me—that is where he works, isn't it? I've been meaning to buy one myself, but this is so much more convenient.
