• 1891 : When Ariana Dumbledore was six years old, three muggle boys saw her doing underage magic. They demanded she show them what she was doing, and when she couldn’t, they attacked her. The event traumatized her, and led to the unraveling of the Dumbledore family.

• 1899 : Ariana Dumbledore’s out-of-control magic accidentally killed Kendra Dumbledore during “one of [Ariana’s] rages,” when Ariana was only fourteen.
