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

Hogwarts Years

1882 — She is betrothed to Tiberius Lestange. She throws a tantrum but it doesn't change anything. Tig is made prefect. Meeting her betrothed does not change her feelings about the match and she decides she hates him simply on principle.

1884 — To her great dismay, Brynn does not return for her final year and instead goes to finishing school. She continues with Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Transfiguration for NEWTs, and picks up Alchemy. Tig manages to get away with turning Head Girl, Ellory Pendergast, into a llama and considers it one of her greatest achievements in life. She still hates the idea of her betrothal, even when Tiberius sends her a kitten. She names it Moselle and quickly comes to adore it. She does not adore Tiberius.
After Hogwarts
1885 — Moselle has kittens. The Hogwarts Coming Out Ball is canceled and Tig is devastated, some weeks later she marries Tiberius. She still doesn't like him, but she finds marriage is better than she anticipated and likes being able to chaperone other girls.
1886 — Tig and Ellory end up in a fight of sorts at a mutual friend's tea party. Tig is hexed and has sardines flying from her nose while Ellory is turned into a warthog. As a result, she is invited to tea by Mrs. Pendergast who has her use the Cruciatus curse on Ellory and then threatens her with the same curse if she ends up in another altercation with Ellory. Shortly after, Tig is sent off to Mrs. Pendergast's finishing school but she only stays a few weeks as Tiberius brings her home as soon as it becomes apparent that she is expecting. In September, twin girls Imperatrix and Cleopatra are born. After marital turbulence that is mostly her doing, she decides absconding to Europe on a quest to clear her head without telling anyone is a good idea. While AWOL, she gains a blackmailer and in a desperate attempt to save her own neck, kills her blackmailer and train full of other muggles by blasting a hole in a bridge and derailing it. Upon returning home she finds herself forced into taking an Unbreakable Vow.
