There's a story I remember reading a while ago. The story involves a magic school with three characters, 2 girls and 1 boy, that are sent to the principals office for fighting in class. It starts with the main girl sitting outside of the principals office while the other two are being disciplined by the principal. When she's called into her office she soon notices the other two were being hanged as punishment, with the red headed girl near the end of her life, as the principal plans to revive the two sometime later. The principal also plans to hang the other girl for a certain amount of time, but she makes a deal with the principal to hang in short increments slowly working off her punishment.
I think i read it either on this site or thedarkspot, but can't remember which one or what thread it was in. I do remember someone had created a 3d model representation of the story.
