3rd person Piper POV

(Piper's responses will be written in bold and italics for her newspaper column.)

Piper was looking through her stack of letters for Ask Beauty. She had been getting more and more as the year progressed. The top one said:

Dear Beauty,

I like this girl, but she's three years younger than me. I really like her and I think she likes me too! I'm just a little worried about what people would think and whether it's appropriate. Help!

-Panda

Dear Panda,

I'm really glad you think she likes you too! Now, how old is she? If she's a first year then I'm gonna have to say no. She's only eleven in that case, and an eleven-year-old dating a fourteen-year-old is just not okay. If she's a second year it's still a no. A twelve-year-old dating a fifteen-year-old is also creepy. In fact, maybe even more creepy. Third year, maybe. It's iffy, especially since you would be a sixth year, but not unacceptable. I mean, it kinda depends on your intentions... I feel like fourth year and up is fine but since you are three years older, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't really go any higher than fourth year. I hope I was helpful!

-Piper

When Piper had finished helping Annabeth print out the last of the newspapers, Piper walked to dinner hoping to sell some there. Even though hardly anyone knew she ran the Ask Beauty column, they still knew she worked for the newspaper.

"Get the latest issue of THE HOGWARTS GAZETTE! Only FIVE KNUTS!" Piper walked around all the noisy tables. 

As she walked past Slytherin, almost every student bought a copy. The Slytherins were always interested in reading the Gossip Column, especially since it was written by Drew Tanaka who was a Slytherin. 

Piper walked to the other tables and sold some more newspapers.

As she walked around the perimeter of the Gryffindor table, student after student bought copy after copy. The Gryffindors were usually interested in the sports section of the paper, but they also liked her advice column pretty well. 

Frank Zhang, Jason's friend bought a copy. He didn't usually buy one.

Piper sat down with Jason and his friends and listened to them chatter. She glanced at Frank's face while he was reading the newspaper. Something about it disappointed him, though Piper didn't know what.
