The following is a very loose timeline of events that bridge the events of generation one to the current generation. Names have been largely omitted unless relevant to the current generation.
Pre-2007 September 1995-August 1996: First-gen student characters are born.
2007 September 2007: First year begins for first-gen students.
2008 September 2008: Second year begins.
2009 September 2009: Third year begins. Magical Concepts class is introduced at Hogwarts lead by Professor Charles Tortal.
2010 May 2010: Hogwarts' magical protections weaken, allowing an army of dark creatures (now known as redcaps) to attack the school, but are mostly repelled by professors, students, aurors, and centaurs. Ministry officials plan to release fiendfyre on the grounds to purge the invaders, but Slytherin student Jordanna Bauer releases her own fiendfyre before they can prepare. Several aurors and students die in the calamity.
August 2010: A mysterious group of rogue wizards known as the Knights of Walpurgis begin a series of murders, but do not publicly announce their existence or motives.
September 2010: Fourth year begins.
October 2010: After a long string of murders of important wizards in the community, an investigation begins into the activities of the Knights of Walpurgis.
November 2010: The Knights of Walpurgis threaten terrorist attacks on a floor of the Ministry of Magic, as well as a muggle political sector in Washington, DC. The minister for magic creates a shadow organization known as "SAVIOR", the "Special Aurors for the Vanquishing of Injurous and Obstinate Reprobates", to combat the Knights of Walpurgis.
SAVIOR stops the attack on Washington, but inadvertently triggers the device which destroys the entirety of the Department of Mysteries in London. The veil is destroyed, and the majority of the unspeakables are killed.
2011 June 2011: The undersecretary to the minister for magic reveals himself as a member of the Knights of Walpurgis, kidnapping a Hogwarts student in hopes of luring his step-brother, also a Hogwarts student, to join him at his side.
During the commotion, the Knights of Walpurgis are lead in an attack on Hogwarts by the now-revealed dark lord, Azariah Amaranth. Few deaths occur, but Azariah is successful in draining Hogwarts' magical core of its energy. Azariah reveals himself to not be human at all, but the embodiment of the elementium itself.
August 2011: The 134th Quidditch World Cup is held in Britain. Azariah and the Knights of Walpurgis take the stadium hostage, which eventually leads to the assassination of the minister for magic.
A group of students begin to discover their own elementium powers, some together, and others separately. Unbeknownst to them and the wizarding world as a whole, these powers were actually given as a gift to these students in order to create chaos as they begin to develop their abilities.
Meanwhile, Azariah Amaranth is captured by ministry officials. The leader of SAVIOR is killed in a duel with his son, the ex-undersecretary who was previously revealed as a member of the Knights of Walpurgis. Hogwarts' headmistress repurposes SAVIOR into an open organization aimed at taking down the Knights of Walpurgis.
September 2011: Fifth year begins, and the Triwizard Tournament is announced at Hogwarts, as Azariah Amaranth is now in custody.
October 2011: Delegates from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrive at Hogwarts. Azariah Amaranth escapes his bonds during his trial before the International Confederation of Wizards and succeeds in destroying the Ministry of Magic in its entirety. The city of London is struck by the destruction, and many muggles witness.
Without a proper government, the Office of Magical Law Enforcement takes control of the wizarding community and establishes martial law.
December 2011: The Yule Ball is interrupted by an attack on several students. This attack is perpetrated by a group of students under the directions of the Knights of Walpurgis under the pretense that they will be able to join the organization. These students are later initiated as the Squires of Walpurgis, Jordanna Bauer being among them.
2012 June 2012: The Triwizard Tournament ends with Hogwarts coming away with the cup.
One of Azariah's followers reveals himself yet again. It is then revealed that Azariah's goal is to make contact with and absorb the higher plane of existence, which is also part of the reason that the veiled archway within the Department of Mysteries was destroyed.
August 2012: SAVIOR holds a meeting to discuss the elementium, Azariah, and his goals. Several students with known elementium are brought into the fold. The group deduces that Azariah seeks to unite the Deathly Hallows of legend and that this is somehow linked with the higher plane.
September 2012: Sixth year begins.
December 2012: A group of students, many of the elementium who had been gathered earlier that summer, reconvene their secret defense club from previous years in response to the Squires of Walpurgis operating within Hogwarts.
2013 June 2013: The Squires of Walpurgis begin attacking students within the dungeons. The defense club mobilizes and holes up in the Room of Requirement. Dave McKelvey arises as a leader and leads the defense club against the Squires, inadvertently revealing his powerful air elementium powers to Jordanna Bauer and the other Squires.
Summer 2013: Azariah and the Knights of Walpurgis become much more aggressive in creating anarchy and chaos. Hogwarts eventually becomes one of the only safe havens in the wizarding world.
With the Squires of Walpurgis coming of age, Azariah summons them and brings them into the fold. He reveals to Jordanna Bauer and Bellatrix Black that they are twin sisters who were separated at birth due to a prophecy, which told of the destructive abilities of their elementium powers, ice and fire, respectively. They learn that their powers become stronger when near each other. Azariah also reveals that he seems great things in Jordanna's future.
September 2013: Seventh year begins.
December 2013: The Yule Ball, now held annually, happens without incident. Jordanna Bauer becomes pregnant by Julian Kahn, the self-proclaimed leader of the Squires of Walpurgis.
2014 June 2014: The final battle begins. Azariah and the Knights of Walpurgis attack the school in full force, with the Squires beginning the assault from within. Azariah succeeds in gathering the Deathly Hallows and begins the process of contacting the higher plane.
Meanwhile, during the battle, Jordanna and Julian are eventually repelled by members of the defense club. In a split-second decision, Julian decides to abandon the pregnant Jordanna to the mercy of the defense club. However, due to some quick thinking, Dave calls off the attack, as Jordanna seemingly surrenders, stunned by Julian's abandonment of her and their unborn child. Although dangerous, Jordanna is left alone, as Dave feels that she is no longer a threat, and chooses to pursue Julian and the other squires.
Jordanna, now seething, vows to destroy Julian. In a fit of rage, Jordanna burst into the great hall with her elementium power in full force, striking down student and adult alike with long spears of ice. She hews a bloody path through the commotion in the hall towards Julian, who is dueling with Dave. Jordanna attacks Julian, who defends himself using his own elementium of molecular control, which allows him general command of all the elements combined. He reveals to her that he never cared for her and has no intention of caring for their child, and that she was always just a pawn in the larger scheme of things to him. Pushed to her wit's end, Jordanna impales Julian on a large pillar of ice and absorbs his power.
Finally, Azariah gathers enough power and begins using the hallows to pierce reality and reach the higher plane. Time and space begins to distort around everyone in the great hall as the dark lord begins merging the two planes together. In a last ditch effort, the elementium band together and turn their power on their master in hopes of stopping him. Jordanna does not partake, but Azariah's voice echoes through her mind, urging her to use her power and carry on his legacy. Begrudgingly, Jordanna contributes her elementium power, now augmented by what she had absorbed from Julian, and the force of the elementium combined overpowers Azariah, destroying him utterly.
In the aftermath, Jordanna and the last remaining female squires, her sister included, leave Hogwarts. Jordanna vows to return more powerful than ever, and that the wizarding world will not be safe from what she declares the Amaranthine Sisterhood. They apparate away without incident.
With Azariah destroyed, SAVIOR gathers the deathly hallows for safekeeping and declares itself victorious. The wizarding world breathes a sigh of relief, as rebuilding can now begin.
Post-Elementium War Late 2014: The Ministry of Magic begins to reform. Stephanie McKenna, previously Hogwarts' potions mistress, leads the effort in coordination with SAVIOR. Martial law and the Office of Magical Law Enforcement are dissolved until an official institution can be implemented again.
Early 2015: The Ministry of Magic is rebuilt under London, and Stephanie McKenna is elected as the minister for magic. Although the ministry is rebuilt, much work is left to be done to ensure that someone like Azariah is not able to resurface. Legislation is introduced for the regulation of the elementium in order to quell unrest over the subject of unrestricted wandless magic. The existing elementium are forced to register with the ministry, but are otherwise left alone. A warrant is put out for the arrest of Jordanna and Bellatrix Black, as well as for Hellius Surla and Ian de Pointe du Lac for noncompliance with the new legislation.
Summer 2015: Bidelia Belleford, previous headmistress of Hogwarts, takes up an official position within the ministry as the leader of SAVIOR, which acts as an extension of the auror office. She names a young but talented wizard named Albus Dumbledore as her successor, making him the new headmaster of Hogwarts.
Current Day Whispers of Jordanna and the Sisters are a constant thing, as the students who grew up with the Squires of Walpurgis are now adults with their own children, however, the criminal organization known as the Amaranthine Sisterhood has stayed relatively low key over the years.
Elementium is now a fully regulated form of wandless magic. Over the years, it seems that the ability has been passed to the children of those who were present at the final battle, as if Azariah's power was somehow imbued into them. Although the ability itself cannot be learned, those with existing powers can hone them like the elementium before them, although their abilities are not nearly as powerful or focused.
