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.
For your cousin, if you would be so kind. I hope you're well. When this Ministry disaster calms down and we've gotten a chance to get everything back to normal, I'd love to take you out sailing again. Late April, perhaps? We'll keep the date flexible, of course, until something definitive happens in the news. Do you have anyone you think might make a better chaperone than August? He's good at staying quiet enough, but I fear he doesn't much care for sailing.

The enclosed letter for Hannah, with a flower twist consisting of two white poppies and a red carnation:
Miss Hannah,
I know you must have heard about the Ministry ordeal, and I know you have a rather large family--I hope no one close to you is involved. Unless it happens to be your father. Both of my younger brothers are at the Ministry, and I've no idea how they're faring. I sort of think (and certainly hope) that this is all just a false alarm--that they've locked the building down as a result of some sort of accident or drill, and that everyone will come out of it without a scratch, but of course it's impossible to say. I'm glad that it all happened so far away from Hogsmeade and Irvingly, though, for obvious reasons.
I'm honestly not sure if my mother has realized that two of her three remaining children are missing. I'm sure she's read the paper, but she's been--sort of scattered, on and off, and I'm never sure how much she really takes things in anymore. Anyway, I've been afraid to bring it up, in case she hasn't realized and my telling her would only make her worry. I'm not sure what to do.

Enclosed is a twist with an azalea and two sprigs of snowdrop.
Thom,
I wish I could say that my father was none of my relations were involved, but that would be a lie. A few of my uncles are Ministry men, and I fear one of my cousins was unlucky enough to be visiting when it happened -- Cousin Will; I think you've met him before. He teaches dance here at the school, but didn't come for our lesson today. He's never been particularly responsible, but this isn't like him.
I'm sorry to hear about your brothers, and your mother, for that matter. If she hasn't mentioned it yet, it may be better to leave her be, at least until there's more news. I don't know how... fragile she is, but surely it would be better to laugh about it once it's over than watch her fret for who knows how long. Ignorance is bliss, after all. Merlin knows I wish I could forget what happened
I hope all is well with you, otherwise. All of this rain and doom and gloom has me rather impatient for summer, but I suppose we shall have to try to endure.
Sincerely,
Hannah
ooc 4/5: switched one of the flowers, not sure if you read this already so yah XD
Both of my brothers are fine, and it seems that things are starting to calm down, finally. Aside from all the worrying, I've been fine. I've started trying to transition my younger brother into my role as proprietor of Quality Quaffle and Snitch; once that transition has set in, I think I fancy some traveling.
I'm glad your brothers are well. I wish I could say the same for my uncle Tobias. Apparently he was crushed in the initial collapse. I don't think it's quite hit me, yet -- this whole disaster has been so surreal. It seems it will be some time yet before everything settles down.
I've heard that India is beautiful in the summertime.
I'm very sorry to hear about your uncle. With everything that has happened recently, it has made me very anxious--well, anxious isn't the word, really, but it's made me think a little bit harder about life, and how brief it can be, and how it is best spent. That's what set my mind on--travelling.
I wasn't fond of India the last time I was there, but that was ages ago. I'm sure you could persuade me to just about any corner of the globe, if you made a good case for it.
If there's a lesson to be learned from this, it is to seize the day. Still, one has to be careful not to burn bridges in the process. Even a short while might help.
Really, if one has the right travelling companion, anywhere on the earth can be memorable.
I've always found that traveling is just the thing to clear my head and give me a fresh lease on life; it's a shame that a lady in your position doesn't have the leisure to see much of the world.
Time changes many things; I shouldn't wonder if you feel differently about the matter by the time the summer's done, but I'm afraid by fall it will be too cold for much travel.
no flowers this time because fuck you asshole she's done trying to be subtle
Mr. Pettigrew,
I seem to recall a time not so long ago when the roles were reversed, and I was the one whose patience was to be tested. Clearly I must have dreamed it, for I can't imagine what might have possessed me to wait for someone so childish and selfish.
