1867: Ambrosia Lemon Shinnick is born the first child of Mortimer and Penthesilea.
1868: Nectar is born. Ambrosia’s too young to fully care about this, but does experience some firstborn anxieties, as she is no longer the only child.
1870: As the eldest, Ambrosia begins lessons with a specially-chosen tutor; she shows promise in French, Latin, and singing.
1872: Ambrosia exhibits her first signs of magic during the first snowstorm she would ever remember, forming a large snow crystal from falling snow when the nanny left the nursery window open. The nanny is subsequently let go for endangering the Shinnick sisters.
1874: Nectar displays magic in a show of frustration during the sisters’ music lesson by destroying a number of keys on the family piano. This leaves Ambrosia in a fit of giggles.
1877: The first sign of heartbreak in the sisters’ lives. During the chaos, shortly after Hogsmeade was founded and made clear to be an option for refuge from the madness of the muggles, Penthesilea is in the process of packing the last things for the transition. A group of muggles passing through the area witness her using magic to pack and surge into the home, slaughtering her in the sitting room.
1878: Ambrosia enters school still in a state of mourning, and is sorted into Ravenclaw.
1879: Nectar follows Ambrosia into Hogwarts.
1880: At the end of her second year, Ambrosia decides to sign up for Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes as OWL courses.
1883: Ambrosia sits her OWLs. The scores come back thus, leading to the choice of keeping Astronomy, Charms, Herbology, Potions, and Transfiguration as NEWT courses: OWL SCORES

1885: Ambrosia debuts, but three weeks after, tragedy strikes once more, and her father is slain on a full moon night in a werewolf attack. Thus, Ambrosia’s first season ends before it is even begun, she enters a period of mourning, and she and her sister are sent to live with their maternal uncle, Deiphobus, who also lives in Hogsmeade. When her NEWT scores arrive, they are thus: NEWT SCORES

1886: After missing her first season due to mourning, Ambrosia entered into her second season in London, at which point she met Harper Stokerton, a twenty-eight year old half-blood from northern Scotland. They grew close quite naturally, and began to exchange letters. In November, Harper inquires with Deiphobus after Ambrosia’s hand in marriage. He consents, and on New Year’s Eve, Harper proposes.
1887: Harper and Ambrosia announce their engagement on May 12th, with the intent to wed in late July. These plans, however, are foiled when, on a day outing, Harper is among the casualties of the Wizarding World Market. He was among those mauled to death by a flying tiger, though technically he died in Ambrosia’s arms after she cast a well-aimed [i]depulso[/i] just a moment too late. She has been in mourning ever since.
