"Oh really?" Sue asked looking confused, "I knew your Dad never had good relations with Slytherins." Sue was quite curious, as far as she knew Harry Potter worshiped Albus Dumbledore. And he was a Gryffindor. Still she wasn't sure about that. It would be very curious indeed if Dumbledore was in Slytherin. "But anyways he was right. Slytherin isn't bad. It is actually the best but people deny it." Sue said rolling her eyes, "And good decision." Her last sentence was of course a lie. The Potter son would be much better off in Gryffindor from the "good side's" point of view. Still, it wasn't a thing which required any care. Especially from Sue.

“Yeah I know, he didn’t like your dad much.” Albus informed her, laughing. “And yeah, it’s odd how people always think all Slytherins are bad.” He had also thought that though, before his father had told him they weren’t. Albus didn’t talk to many people, but he was really good at reading faces and lies. He could tell she thought it wasn’t really a good decision and he would have done better in Gryffindor. For the first time he was starting to believe just a bit of all the odd things people had told him about her. “Are you really a death eater?” he blurted out, he was curious, but he hadn’t meant to say it out loud.

Sue had laughed along with him when he did the same. She didn't really think he was bad until he said out that question. Sue's smile disappeared and she raised an eyebrow. Well, that fact wasn't a secret at all. Almost the whole school knew it, thanks to Darren. But she really didn't want to reveal the truth to that boy. "What do you think?" she asked him, hoping that it would change the subject anyhow. She had started to feel really uncomfortable there.

Albus was about to deny it, say he didn’t think she was a death eater. But then he remembered her and Darren’s fight in the library – she had later bullied all the first and second years watching. She had also, used an unforgivable curse. “I don’t know,” he answered honestly. “My brother and loads of others say you are.”

"And do you believe them?" Sue asked raising an eyebrow. Surely his family might have told him. Still she wanted to hear what he said. "Don't worry I don't kill innocents."

“I don’t know,” Albus repeated tentatively. Only his brother had told him, and he was always goofing around. Hearing her next comment, he turned pale and he slowly put his hand in his pocket – where his wand was. “So.. you’re a death eater?” he asked, although he already knew. She hadn’t denied it after all.

"Yes, but chill. You can surely go away if you are scared." Sue said and rolled her eyes. She really felt sick of all these craps. She wasn't going to kill him after all, so there was no need to turn all pale.

Albus wasn’t frightened, he might be shy, but he wasn’t by any means a coward. He took his wand out, forgetting that a moment ago he and the girl were getting along fine. “I’m not scared of death eaters, there just slaves of You-Know-Who.” He had dealt with death eater wanabees before, there were a lot in Slytherin.

Sue rolled her eyes. This boy said quite similar things Darren used to say. But whatever she had come there for some rest. Now he had, a stupid, silly, idiot boy trying to duel her. "Listen I told you I won't harm you, so there's no use of taking your wand out as if to duel." Sue said and bit her lip.

Albus scowled and picked up his books, keeping his wand in his other hand. There was no way he was gonna stay in a room with a Death Eater there. He might be in Slytherin, but he would never join the Death eaters, or be friends with them. "I don't trust Death Eaters," he said scathingly as he put the books in his bag.
