Placement of "AAAA Wizardry"

Alright, so I think I've narrowed down AAAA to take place within a year's timeframe between Backup and Turn Coat:


 * The Paranet is formed shortly after White Night, or 7 ASF (after Storm Front)


 * The Paranet has been around a year at the time of Harry's AAAA flashback (around May 8 ASF)


 * Harry mentions in his narration to the Wardens that it takes the family almost a year to recover from the damage. This puts the earliest date (if the family had just finished healing) at May 9 ASF or later.


 * Given Harry's status post-Changes, it seems unlikely the story takes place then.


 * The DFRPG is written in-universe before Turn Coat, as evidenced by Harry's comments in the margins. This story also carries such notes. By that logic, we can assume it too comes before TC.

In summary, we can figure out that AAAA Wizardry takes place between May 9 ASF (shortly after Backup) and Summer 10 ASF (Turn Coat).
