It all went down on September 25th, on that day all bets were off and it was every man for himself. To make everything simpler we're going to have to start from the beginning, September 1st, the first day of school.
My name is Piper Clementine, as of today I'm officially a 3rd year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since the beginning of the school the four Hogwarts houses have managed to tolerate each other. Even Gryffindors and Slytherins would team up if need be. All of this was possible (so it's said) because of the three unspoken rules at Hogwarts. The rules were simple 1: Fatal injuries or killings of classmates would lead to banishment of school grounds 2: No one enters the Forbidden Forest without a teacher and 3: No pranking the Ravenclaws.
These rules were slowly made over time, and each rule had a special story to go behind it. There has only been one rule that has been changed, rule #2. The original rule was "No one enters the Forbidden Forest alone". It's a long story, but basically four boys decided it was a great idea to play a riveting game of hide and go seek in the forbidden forest, and they just so happened to have disrupted a family of presumably harmless spiders. Anyways, that's a different story, back to September 1st.
My family had taken a bit too long to say goodbye and I almost missed the train. I opened the first seemingly empty cart I saw and hopped in. It took me five minutes to realize that there were three other people in the cart and they were all staring at me. I flinched when I saw them and nearly jumped out of my chair.
There were three boys total, a pair of twins with pale skin and striking orange hair and a darker skinned boy with beautiful dark brown eyes. In the end I decided that it would be awkward to just leave, so I got out a book and preceded to ignore them for the rest of the train ride.
I thought that this was going to be just an awkward mistake that would be forgotten by tomorrow, oh how wrong I was. I ran into the boys on my way to my potions class the next day. The dark eyed boy shouted and pointed when he saw me, and the twins whipped around to face me. They looked me up and down and then as if something finally clicked they said "Ah! It's the awkward lass from the train!" My peers all turned to look around at the commotion, I didn't know what to do so I awkwardly laughed, looked at my watch, then ran.
Both of these situations would be seen as harmless, funny even, from an outsider's point of view. However, things only got worse from there. The twins decided to address me in the same manner that they had on the previous day for the next week. Not knowing what to do I ignored them each time. One would assume that the guys would give up after being blatantly ignored for a week, but it only seemed to give them more strength to continue.
Halfway into the next week of school everyone was used to the awkward exchanges, and some would go out of their way to see them in person. It was quite a sight, three boys talking to a girl as if they grew up together and the girl ignoring them completely as if they had never met. I was prepared for all of this to die down, what I wasn't prepared for was what these boys would do when they finally got fed up with being ignored.
