Eloise Mintumble dies in a time-travel experiment
She is trapped in 1402 for a couple of days. When the Ministry researchers manage to retrieve her, her body ages centuries on her return and she dies shortly thereafter in St Mungos. The effects of her disruption of the time stream are severe. Twenty-five people in the present simply vanish, having never been born. The following Tuesday lasts for two and a half days, and the following Thursday only a couple of hours.
Adalbert Waffling, magical theoretician, is born
Timeline Notes
The dates given for Waffling do not work when we learn in Deathly Hallows that Dumbledore corresponded with him while in school. Dumbledore had left Hogwarts by the time Waffling was born, according to these dates.

Ariana Dumbledore accidentally kills her mother
"... it was an accident. Ariana couldn't control it. But my mother was killed."
-- Aberforth Dumbledore (DH28)
Ariana Dumbledore’s out-of-control magic accidentally killed Kendra Dumbledore during “one of [Ariana’s] rages,” when Ariana was only fourteen. (DH28) This happened right after Albus Dumbledore graduated from Hogwarts, and led to Albus becoming Ariana’s primary caretaker, in lieu of his plans to do a world tour with Elphias Doge. (DH2)
Timeline Notes
We know that this happened right after Albus graduated from Hogwarts, (DH2) and still allowed for two months of Grindelwald and Albus's relationship afterwards (DH35) before the school year started on September 1st (DH28). Therefore, it was definitely in June of that year, and probably late June given the school year was done.

Albus, Aberforth, and Grindelwald duel; Ariana is killed
"... you can't take her with you, wherever it is you're planning to go, when you're making your clever speeches, trying to whip yourselves up a following."
-- Aberforth Dumbledore, recalling what he said to his brother just before the duel began
Angry that his brother is neglecting their fragile sister for his new friend, Aberforth confronts Albus and Grindelwald about their plans to leave Godric’s Hollow and make their mark on the world. Grindelwald tells Aberforth he just doesn’t understand, and then uses the Cruciatus Curse on the younger boy. Then a duel break out between the three wizards. The duel overwhelms Ariana, and she reacts in some way that causes her to be caught in the crossfire. It is unknown who cast the spell that killed her.
Timeline Notes
This probably happened in late August since Aberforth says that it happened shortly before he returned to Hogwarts, which usually begins the new term on September first.
Notes
The reader learns of this event when Aberforth Dumbledore recounts it to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. When Aberforth finishes telling the story, he suggests that his brother Albus was glad to be free of the sister for whom he had been obliged to care. Harry disputes this, recalling the way Professor Dumbledore had pleaded for someone to hurt him instead of "them" when delirious from the potion he drank to retrieve the locket in the cave. Harry says he is certain that Dumbledore's words were about the duel that killed his sister.

Ariana Dumbledore’s Funeral
" ...breaking Albus’s nose at the funeral was not decent. It would have destroyed Kendra to see her sons fighting like that, across her daughter’s body. A shame Gellert could not have stayed for the funeral. . . . He would have been a comfort to Albus, at least."
-- Bathilda Bagshot (DH18)
Ariana Dumbledore, sister of Albus and Aberforth, met her accidental death during a three-way duel between the brothers and Gellert Grindelwald (DH35). According to an interview given to Rita Skeeter by Bathilda Bagshot, the brothers had a “dreadful coffin-side brawl” during the funeral in which Aberforth bloodied Albus’s nose, perhaps breaking it (DH18)
