May 23rd, 1871 Surprise!	Twins join the family, Owen Anthony and Charlotte Jane are the last additions to the already large Beauregard family. Shortly after the twins are born, Stella starts tutoring Elsie and Harvey in basic reading and mathematics skills. Elsie shows a quick aptitude for reading and begins to absorb as much information through books as she could. Elsie had always enjoyed listening to her mother or older siblings read aloud to her and became even more enthralled with it once she could do it herself. She developed a sincere affection for fairy tales from an early age, though eventually found a fondness for non-fiction as well.
Summer 1872 Unexpected Addition	Shay Ross becomes a late addition to the Beauregard family as a ward. He was disowned from his own muggle family for his magic and the Beauregards take him in as their own. He heads off to school in September of the same year where he was sorted into Gryffindor.
September 1873	Bentley goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor with Shay. The two had become fast friends in Shay's short time in the family and Bentley enjoyed having another boy his age around
September 1874	Adella follows Bentley and Shay to Hogwarts where she is sorted into Hufflepuff. This year Vincent takes on a more involved position in his company and begins traveling more often. Elsie takes this harder than most of her siblings as she had always been a bit of a daddy's girl.
Summer 1877 Hogsmeade	Upheaval in the magical community causes the Beauregards to reconsider their living situation and the family relocates to Hogsmeade just before Elsie starts school.
187701878 First Year	Elsie joins her siblings at Hogwarts, in a surprising turn of events in which everybody expected the bookworm to be sorted into Ravenclaw, Elsie joins Shay and Bentley in Gryffindor. She is at first baffled by the Sorting Hat's decision and feels very much an outcast in red and gold. However, she excels at her schoolwork, as expected and eventually settles into her house, despite her original hesitation.
1878-1879 Second Year	Harvey enters Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff. Shay graduates and begins his auror-in-training program at the ministry. He moves to London

1880-1881 Fourth Year	Adella and Lucinda debut and graduate from school. Adella and finds a job at the House of Lytton as a seamstress. Her first season does not produce a courtship, but she is unperturbed, enjoying her new occupation.
1881-1882 Fifth Year	Elsie starts off the year very much the same as the others. She does very well academically and not so well socially. Somehow she manages to catch the eye of Somerset Agrippa and the two become tentative friends, though Elsie is oblivious to his original intentions. Things become tricky that December when Grip is accused of rape and subsequently expelled; Elsie does not believe this is true and continues her friendship with him despite what anybody else might think. That winter Bentley's friend Winnie falls very ill and spends quite a bit of time at the Beauregard house while she recovers. Bentley proposes to Winnie in February and the two start an adorable engagement. Shay's auror position pulls him abroad, though he often writes home. Els also befriends another housemate, Tybalt Kirke that spring and the two are fast friends, despite having been in the same house for five years, though Elsie still struggles with knowing when Tyb is teasing her (which is almost always). Her OWL grades come out exactly as she expected, after a ridiculous amount of studying.
Summer 1882	Bentley is drafted for the Hogsmeade Trail Expedition, he and Winnie struggle personally and ultimately their engagement dissolves. In August Grip causes a huge fire in Bartonburg which engulfs an entire house. He decides to leave the country and Elsie gets one last letter from him before he's gone. Elsie spends most of the summer volunteering at the Hospital where she meets Adam Parker.
1882-1883 Sixth Year	Back at school Els tries to move on from losing her friend and dives right back into her NEWT classes. Elsie discontinues taking Runes and Astronomy. She is taking the maximum amount of NEWT classes, but figures her lack of a social life and ample studying time allows her to work harder at her academics. She and Mr. Parker exchange a few letters and see one another a couple times, but things fizzle out despite her crush on him.
1883-1884 Seventh Year	Bentley is lost in an apartment fire in Boston, sending the entire Beauregard family into a deep mourning. Elsie breaks down, relying on her friends for support as she tries to pick up the pieces. Mixed with her grief over Bentley, Elsie realizes some unintentional feelings for her best friend, Tybalt Kirke. She tries desperately to bury them but things culminate in a post-disaster Coming Out Ball situation in which they reveal mutual feelings.
May 1884 Post-Graduation	Elsie begins working at Wizzhard's bookstore after graduation to avoid being an actual debutante, much to her mother's chagrin. It suits Els though as she loves books. She also starts shadowing her mother in her governess position in hopes of soon finding her own.
Summer 1884 PLAGUE FIRE DOOM.	The Beauregards are largely unharmed in any of the summer’s tragedies, most of the house falls prey to the Laughing Sickness, aside from Owen, but they all recover.
1885	A misunderstanding between herself and Tyb on New Year's Day sees them fighting and not speaking for months. Elsie blames herself of course and tries to bury everything, though she misses her best friend. They reconcile in the spring and find themselves in a very tentative and even more secret relationship. A pregnant Odira goes missing! Elsie is worried sick for her friend, for months on end. She is found (and gives birth!) in October of that year, though she has no recollection of who she is or even that she's a witch! Elsie very tentatively and patiently tries to rekindle her friendship with Odira in the hopes that her friend will be alright. November and some (innocent!) irresponsible decisions have Elsie telling Tyb she loves him. It's very important, OKAY?
1886	Elsie, inspired by Odira, changes her career path and takes on a junior librarianship at the Crowdy Memorial Library in London and she couldn't be happier with that. Adella marries Philip Calendar in May! A New Year's Eve snowstorm leaves Elsie trapped for several days at Tyb's house. It's very... confusing for Elsie. On one hand she thoroughly enjoyed getting to have all that time together, but on the other it makes her miss it more than she would have expected. It gives her a glimpse of what they could have, but Elsie is entirely unsure about that being even a remote possibility for her...
1887	Els continues to work at the library and it's a quiet year for her.
1888 Future Plans	The year starts out with a BANG. After a foolish move at Lucinda's quidditch party in January, her cousin catches Elsie and Tyb getting cozy in the library and that's when everything starts to go downhill and fast. The pair are forced to face the harsh reality of their situation that they'd just kind of been ignoring up until then. In March everything fizzles out completely when she and Tyb decide to take a break, but Elsie doesn't have a lot of hope that things will work out in their favor in the long run. In the meantime, Elsie has been exchanging letters with a library patron who helped her during an illness. Mr. Adlard seems to share her love of literature and dislike of social situations, which Elsie finds refreshing, though she doesn't think much of it beyond that. In June Elsie is promoted to a librarian slot! Late in the year, Elsie and Tyb run into one another in Honeydukes. It's a bit of a mess, but they end up resolving their problems and decide to really give their relationship a chance. Tyb promises to retire from quidditch at the end of this season and joins the Ministry in the Dueling Commission. Elsie feared this, but he seems to be doing well with it. She keeps working and saving her salary from the library, because every little bit helps.
1889 The Next Level	This summer, Elsie receives a sudden and unexpected offer of courtship from Mr. Adlard. Perplexed and panicked, she seeks comfort in Tyb of course and things get serious. She turns Mr. Adlard down as gently as she can, but clearly he's still upset by it. Following this fiasco a maid is fired from the Beauregard home for sub-par workmanship and she goes and blabs about the otherwise unannounced courtship refusal and Elsie's "late nights" which winds up in Witch Weekly somehow. Elsie is approached by her mother about it and it gets settled, but she is currently minding her manners to the extreme.
1890 A Momentary Lull	Another round of the Quidditch World Cup arrives in Hogsmeade and Tyb is yet again drafted to the second string. Even though Elsie encouraged him to try out, the flashbacks from the first time plague her indefinitely. She feels less guilty about him retiring now. Odira welcomes a son with her husband.
1891 Growing Up Fast	Things are taking a turn for the better, Tyb’s request to officially court Elsie is approved and they perhaps celebrate a little too much. Elsie and a friend take a trip on a disastrous voyage, but wind up unharmed. By Elsie’s birthday however, it’s clear that her skipping of her cycles is not caused by the stress of the shipwreck and she is indeed pregnant. She and Tyb elope a couple of days after and then begin to deal with the fallout from family and society. Elsie is granted a temporary leave of absence from the library with the promise that her job will be there when she is ready to return. Bentley James is born in December of that same year, in a wild turn of events in which Sebastian delivers the baby. Everybody is quite happy and healthy.
1892 Another Loss	Their happy little bubble is shattered in August when Owen is murdered in an alley off High Street in the middle of the day. The murder is still unsolved and it shatters Elsie more than she could ever admit.
1893 Picking Up the Pieces	It’s hard to go on, but with a second pregnancy and Tyb’s promotion, Elsie is trying to do the best that she can, leaning on family and friends, and of course her wonderful husband. Maisie Elena joins the family in a somewhat unusual manner, but everybody is quite thrilled with the arrival.
