Charming is a Victorian Era Harry Potter roleplay set primarily in the village of Hogsmeade, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the non-canon village of Irvingly. Characters of all classes, both magical and muggle — and even non-human! — are welcome.
With a member driven story line, monthly games and events, and a friendly and drama-free community focused on quality over quantity, the only thing you can be sure of is fun!
"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
It's been a long time, hasn't it? I suppose that's a rather abrupt way of opening a letter but I admit that for once I haven't the faintest idea how to approach something. I read about you in the paper, of course - about the loss of your brother and I am apologetic that I did not write sooner. I was not certain my letter would be met warmly in such a trying time and refrained.
Are you well? A lot has happened this summer - for everyone, of course - but I was not around to witness it first hand. I know Hogwarts is to reconvene soon. Am I correct to assume that you will in fact be finishing your final year? If so I hope it goes without problem throughout the year.
I hope to hear from you soon, as I have been somewhat at a loss for pleasing company and letters with such caliber of people are all I can attain.
Fondly,
Tullia
Tullia enchanted it so that it is for Nate's eyes only cuz #yolo
Most of what could be read in the paper I witnessed first hand. Drought, quarantine, sickness, death, fire. You name it, we had it. I'm glad you were away from all of it.
School starts again in a few days. Though it feels strange to be going. I guess it has been a while since we wrote. How are you?
I would say I am glad that you are taking it all in stride, though I'm not certain such is the case. I do, however, hope that life does not see fit to throw more hurdles your way.
I am as well as can be expected, I suppose. My home is being made safe for return, of course, though I'm not certain how long it will be until I can return to Hogsmeade. Not that I'm particularly eager. I wish I was returning to Hogwarts this year.
I mi I don't like not speaking with you. Even if it's only parchment and ink that can relay our words.
My best mate says we'll have plenty of stories to tell when we are older so I guess that's a good way of looking at it. I suppose you'll have read that I am to be President of Wilde Enterprises so no more curse breaking for me. It makes my classes seem pretty pointless, now.
Was your house taken in the fire too? I've been staying with a friend in London since my old house - which was my brother's and then my nephew's - burned down.
I did in fact read that. I'm sorry that your dreams will be left unfulfilled. Perhaps it is better that life take such things from us when we are young so that we have time to adjust to our fates. I wish that was a more consoling sentiment but I suppose it simply is what it is.
My home is, mercifully, still standing. Or so I am told. The interior is what is really what is worse for wear but I'm not fully kept in the loop on such things. I suppose they think I am too delicate to need to know details. Such is life, though. Even when I'm to be presented as an adult, I am treated like a child.
I hope a speedy rebuilding of your home, however. Even if it is just a building I have found that no longer having the comfort of such a place you've grown accustomed to is tiring.
I don't expect I'll be returning to the house, even if it is rebuilt. There's been quite the shuffle in my family. You've probably heard about that too. I'm finding its easy to move forward when there is no other direction to go.
Classes have only been in session for a few days and already the teachers have gone mad. Classes were always hard to focus on but now in addition to being boring they seem pointless as well. I can't believe its only been a year since that first time I talked to you in the library.
