    1861| She fails to secure a husband after her 2nd season and her father arranges a meeting with the widowed Xavier Smith III. They briefly courted and married in the same year.
    1862|The marriage was an unhappy one as Xavier was too depressed with his first wife’s demise. Jane had tried to at least befriend him. He was inattentive and cold towards her that she started to seek out the companionship of a man that she befriended during her days at Hogwarts.
    1863| She falls pregnant with the his baby. While she wasn’t the type to kill children (especially helpless babies) she didn’t want to give up her status and aborts it.
    1864| Afraid of conceiving again, she decided to cut all ties with her lover.She  becomes pregnant with her husband’s child in the later months.  Jane’s mind had been filled with thoughts of being stuck with him forever to having freedom for herself if she were to tell Xavier that she was barren. 
    1865|She couldn’t find an abortionist at that time so she resorted to giving birth at her sister’s.She told Xavier that her sister was bedridden and dying  as an excuse to stay there. A baby boy named Dominic was born in February and was taken as her sister’s ward.
    1866| A frustrated Alouette seeks out her lover again and falls pregnant. A failed abortion potion kills the unborn child but renders her barren.
    1873| She continues her illicit relationship and before the year ends she is caught.
    1874| She and Xavier divorced and She was disowned by her family. Her sister however was kind enough to take her in.She properly introduces herself to her son whom she hasn’t met since his birth. She tutors him and makes up for the years that he was motherless. When asked for information about his father, she made up a fictional father for him named Christian. He isn’t exactly real but she made sure to make-up stories about him being the complete opposite of her Ex-husband and her own father. A good man and  husband.  She couldn’t help but notice how similar his features were with Xavier’s. 
    1875| Before the year ends, Her douchebag of a Brother-In-Law kicks her out. Alouette takes her son and moves to the Slums of London and changes her name. She gets a job as a maid to a middle class family with the help of her sister.

    1881|After two years of  service in her new position, she works as a temporary Governess to her employer’s irish twin daughters until they could find a replacement. Her mistress had seen her oddly good at her new job despite being a lower class and she gives her the position permanently. She was happy with the development. She was happy to be able to  use everything that she had learned in Hogwarts and finishing school. 
    She was truly proud of her son as he acquired a full scholarship but she fears  that her son would meet his father if he works in a higher position because of his NEWTs, she persuades him to work as a gardener on the same household she works for and not finish his studies.
