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.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
August's invitation to this Malfoy ball had been personalized, and that was the invitation he needed to feel like he had overcome Miss Adebayo's shooting him down, at least with the debutantes. He had also found the debutante to be charming, and was hoping to see her tonight.
A masquerade did, in fact, make seeing her more difficult. He tried to as subtly as possible ask about the whereabouts of Miss Malfoy, while feeling awkward behind his raven mask. He followed some directions given to him by the other guests, taking his time, until Leon shoved him in front of a blonde woman.
August said, "Forgive me, he's very — something. Do I have the pleasure of speaking with Miss Angeline or Miss Estelle Malfoy?"
(He had not heard good things about either of the other sisters. But people didn't hear good things about him, so — it would be fine.)
For a moment her eyes narrowed and Angel, forgetting herself, almost snapped at Mr Echelon-Arnost through her harlequin’s mask. Even with another face surely her figure made her more notable than Estelle?! And the fact that people were not scattering from her like a stink bomb had been dropped amongst the refreshments and wallflowers. Then she recalled two things in quick succession:
1. She and Estelle had agreed to be kinder about one another in public, and
2. Mr Echelon-Arnost was an unmarried gentleman.
The second was far more important but she was willing to adhere to the first if need be.
“Angeline,” she replied with a pert smile. “I hardly need to guess who you are.”

Angeline. So not the sister with a reputation for being unpleasant, but the... other one. August knew enough to know that there were things he ought to know about each of the Malfoy sisters — reasons they were unmarried, et cetera — but not enough to know what they were. And he had his own reputation, so it was not as if he was in a position to be particularly judgmental.
"I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss Angeline Malfoy," August said, with a smile that was slightly sheepish for his not having known her immediately. "My apologies for not knowing you as immediately as you knew me."
It was a forgivable sin, she supposed, though it did strike a chord with her that she had spent much of the last week thinking of nothing but men such as him, whereas he had only given her and her kind a passing thought. Merlin, what a bluestocking she was becoming! Far too much time for thinking when one was unwed.
“Someone once suggested that it was difficult to tell my sisters and I apart,” Angel replied with a light laugh, recalling the incident and still mildly smarting from it. “Imagine his surprise when he met us and realised the opposite was true.” He had never quite recovered from Estelle, she was sure of it.
