"Boys and girls, I want you to answer on simple question for me today: Is it wrong to eavesdrop? Bear in mind, 'eavesdrop' implies that the person in question deliberately overheard. Is that wrong?"

"I'm going to have to agree with everyone else," said Janet. "If you're out talking in public and someone overhears what you're saying, then maybe you deserve the repercussions for not taking proper precautions to keep your conversation private. And if you're in private--" She grinned. "Well, at this school, you should sweep your room for bugs if you really want to keep a conversation to yourself."


OOC: I hope the mention of bugs is OK! Janet totally means electronic listening devices, of course, and I didn't even think of Rita being an Animagus 'til after I reread this. So let me know if you want me to edit my comment.
