Okay, so she Rip Van Winkled herself as a young woman. Attended weekend parties in the Nevernever and popped back out 40 years later to find everyone else much older. Yeah, that makes more sense.  Thanks.

Now I'll keep out of the reference sections.

Might be worth adding to the timeline, along with the Luccio Entry, "Circa 1800" a mention of Margaret's Birth.

I'm a newbie here, so please treat me gently.  Apologies if this isn't the right place to bring this up.

We've had several tidbits stating how wizards live a long time but don't stay young and pretty as they do so. Harry, at 38, already notices that he looks older than Thomas. From the way Harry describes the older wizards and their ages, it looks like they age near-normally up to about age 40-50, then slow down their aging drastically afterward, stretching their decrepitude for another 2-3 centuries.

Luccio mentions that she hasn't had menses or felt much sexual desire for over a century.

By that measure, her contemporary Margaret LeFay at 100 should have gone through menopause about 40-50 years ago, and should not be giving birth, right? She might be a perfectly-healthy woman of apparent age around 65.

If this is right, it doesn't fit with her bearing Thomas and Harry when she does. Is there any way she could have been born a few decades later?
