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.
My first actual fitting will be this next Hogsmeade weekend. I'd like you to come. I will advise, I've invited a classmate along. She's never been to Paris, can you believe it? It's ghastly! Anyway. I've chosen to invite her along, and think we should visit a café after. I've been dying to get my hands on a grande crème.
Paris aside, how have you been? How is Eros? How does it feel, to be a debutante?
My dear, you know I would never turn down dress shopping. Who is this classmate to have the misfortune of being deprived of Paris? Count me in on this as well, I only wish we could make a week of it.
Everything is marvelous. I am currently being courted. He's even a pureblood. I can't wait to rub it in Cad's face in person. The parties are wonderful. I doubt I will be married by summer, but I can still certainly join you for your first parties as a fresh debutante.
Eros has adored not being stalked by the younger students. Dear creature gets more of my attention throughout the day.
What wonderful news! Oh, I cannot wait to hear all about him.
Oh, I agree, making a week of it would be preferable. Perhaps sometime this summer. Now, don't be upset, but the student who's not yet had the pleasure of visiting Paris is none other than Ms. Chrysanta Ruskin. We ended up seated next to each other this year in Transfiguration and got to chatting. You know how I can be. She at least deserves a visit to our favorite city and a decent cup of coffee.
We should go riding together soon, as well. I dearly miss Chérie.
I'm certain you will meet him before we marry. And I certainly cannot waste all of my information on him through letter. I will tell you more of him in person.
Goodness, the half-vampire? Angelique, we are not running a charity. I'll be on my best behavior this time, but please try not to make this into a habit.
Riding sounds divine, though I'd prefer if we waited until the warmer months.
