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.

January 4th, 1890 — Headquarters of the London Society for the Practice of Combative Magic Elijah Urquart Helixa Hyslop
Andromeda smiled easily at both the students. She would be competing tomorrow, which made her slightly nervous. She hadn't dueled in quite some time, and she knew she was to be a newcomer in a crowd of people who were not shy about chatter.
Her own nervousness aside, the Ravenclaw matron welcomed both students and went over the rules. "Good luck to you both," she added, before bidding Mr. Urquart to begin.
A fourth year, and a Ravenclaw besides, would likely be more of a challenge than the third year Hufflepuff had been, but Elijah still quite fancied his chances.
Almost lazily, he cast a stunning spell at Miss Hyslop.

Miss Hyslop's spell broke straight through whatever was coming her way and collided with the Slytherin boy at full force. His front teeth immediately started growing at a rapid pace. Andromeda did her best to not let her jaw drop, but anyone who was witness would most likely see it pop open a fraction of an inch.
"Mademoiselle Hyslop," Andromeda declared quickly with a flourish of her wand to remedy Mr. Urquart's unfortunate situation. "wins this round. Mr. Urquart, when you've collected yourself please start the next round." She eyed the fourth year in her house with a newfound intrigue.
