1873: Wallace is born to Carson and Fiona Bixby.

1876: A pair of twins are born. Wallace isn't quite pleased to no longer be the baby of the family especially since one of his new siblings is a girl. Sawyer is not expected to live through the night and appears to prove the midwife who predicted his early demise wrong.

1877: Sawyer passes away early into the new year. Sloane is inconsolable and this is Wallace's first close-up experience with familial death. There are sleepless nights in the Bixby household for quite a while. That summer, they move to Hogsmeade in an attempt to start fresh and move on from their loss.

1878: Alvins turn to go to Hogwarts comes. Wallace's first signs of magic occurs when he causes his toy Quidditch figurines to chase one another around the room.

1881: Harrison goes off to Hogwarts which leaves him with only Sloane and their parents for company.

1883: Sloane breaks her arm after falling out of a tree. Wallace isn't quite sure what to think about that but he is glad she wasn't too hurt beyond that.

1885-1886: Alvin graduates and eventually becomes an apprentice broommaker. That fall Wallace goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.

1886: Sloane breaks her arm again and Wallace is a little less sympathetic than he was the first time she had done it.

1886-1887: Wallace tries out for the Quidditch team during his second year but does not make it.

1887-1888: Sloane joins him in Gryffindor which he honestly does not find too surprising. Wallace tries out for the Quidditch team again but does not make it once more.

1888-1889: Sloane makes it on the Quidditch team during her second year while Wallace does not. He gives up on trying to join the House Team altogether.

1889-1890:: It isn't too surprising that Wallaces school letter does not come with a prefect badge.

1891: Beginning his seventh year, which is probably a bit of a miracle really, Wallace has become all too aware that he needs to think about life after Hogwarts. Which job should he take? Will he even be able to get it with the grades he has so far? He doesn't know but he had better figure it out and fast!
