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.
Has your adjustment back from break gone well? I would hope so. Ready for the last half of your Hogwarts education? I cannot wait to see you and your sister at the coming out ball. It will be nice to have two more familiar faces among the social scene.
Ephraim mentioned possibly going to France next winter. Do you think we could convince father and your parents to allow us to at least visit? It sounds rather exciting. I begged Aurelia to allow me to mention it first. Please write soon.
The castle is much as I left it prior to break. Though it is odd to consider this is the last break I’ll be returning to the castle after.
I am excited for the coming out ball and am still debating my accessories, but have settled on the dress. How do you manage to settle on accessories for so many events during the season? I do fear I’ll lose track and end up wearing the same brooch twice unaltered.
Ephraim would miss us if we didn’t visit so we must try for his sake to go. I do hope we can convince our parents.
