As a matter of fact, our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher (so-called) that year reminded me of my parents. Oh, yes, I was attracted to him, just like the other girls, but unlike them, I figured out quickly how to use him. Having seen shallow, self-important posturers around me all my life, I had him measured up pretty quickly. I must admit, he could have probably been worse. If he'd wanted, he could have had almost any of the girls taking their knickers off and thinking it was an honour. For that matter, if I hadn't figured out that he was a fraud and phony, I'd have done so myself if needs must. As things are, I find that my roommates satisfy my needs quite well, and, unlike any male, being alone with them is not considered suspicious.
