"Will- can you just… be careful" George said- he hadn't realised how… dangerous it would be taking on a 13 year old to work in the shop. Lee simply laughed- whereas George didn't find it so funny. If Will broke one more thing- George would be very annoyed. But he was Ange's little brother and so he'd just have to deal with it.
"How long's the…" Lee started, before Alicia walked into the shop, and his jaw dropped. George shook his head and left him to it. Walking away he could hear Lee start with- "Why, hello there Miss Spinnet, and what can I do for you on the fine morning?" And then Alicia came back with "Oh, stop being so bloody stupid Lee…"
Ange nervously sat outside the office- smoothing down her skirt and then searching through her handbag for her mirror to make sure her hair and make-up looked okay. She breathed out deeply and looked at the other girl sat across from her- she looked nervous, she looked how Ange felt. Suddenly the door was opened and voices emerged- "Miss Johnson?" a posh and rather intimidating voice said- Ange stood up slightly too eagerly and smiled- "Yes, that's me" she said- wishing she hadn't. She followed the lady into the office and sat opposite her rather imposing desk.
The woman introduced herself as Jane Hodgepodge- Ange fought the urge to laugh at her name and made sure her face showed no hint of amusement. But, Hodgepodge? Seriously? "Now Angelina- your parents kindly put in some words of recommendation for you this morning" the lady started- Ange sighed, she wanted to get this job by herself, however small it was, not through her parents doing. After a few minutes of interviewing- and Ange nervously answering the questions as best she could, Jane cleared he throat and smiled at her- "Your grades at school were excellent, your achievements after school excellent. To be honest, you're probably the most competent girl I've seen so far for this job. I'd like to offer you it" Jane said- "Oh, thank you so much, Ma'am" Ange said kindly as she shook her hand across the table.
When Ange got back to the shop after the successful interview, she moved past some noisy kids and straight to the front desk. George looked up and his face instantly lit up when he saw his beautiful fiancé approaching- "How did it go?" he asked her, as she leaned against the desk angelically with her head in her hands. "I got it!" she told him excitedly. He smiled and pulled her close over the desk to give her a quick kiss. "I'm just going to go change" she said happily, before she walked away from the desk, blowing him a quick kiss before she disappeared upstairs- she pulled on a cute dress and picked up her clutch bag, shoving in some money and stuff before quickly going back downstairs and slipping on some heels.
"Baby- I'm just going to meet Katie… I'll be back soon!" she said cheerily as she waved at Fred and quickly went out of the shop and into Diagon Alley, she checked her watch and ran up to the café she always met her best friend at.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into one of the back alleys of the many streets- she looked at the man, realising he was covered up by what appeared to be a mock death eater mask- which she found disgusting. She tried to scream but he covered her mouth and moved further into the ally. He shoved her against the wall and grabbed her bag- "That's all I wanted…" he said- before he started violently punching her in the face so that she would black out. She soon gave up from the pain and fell to the floor completely out of it.
He checked through the Angelina's bag and took the money, throwing the bag down and spotting the ring on her finger. He leant down, but when he tried to take it off, he couldn't- he groaned, realising that it probably had a protection charm over it. He quickly shoved the money in his pocket and left the bleeding Angelina unconscious. Taking off the mask and throwing it into a nearby dumpster, he made a run for it.
Katie sat in the café- frowning as she looked at her watch. She stood up and quickly went out of the shop. Knowing for a fact that Ange would never miss one of their ice cream splurges. Arriving at George's shop, she pushed open the door and went in. Lee smiled at her and then looked at George. "Oooh… I thought Ange was meeting Katie? I bet she's got some other…" Katie frowned and hit Lee, before turning to the rather confused looking George. "Is Ange still here? She was supposed to meet me half an hour ago" she said- George frowned and instantly worried about his girl.
The door of the shop opened again- it was a very battered looking Angelina, she was in so much pain right then and probably looked awful.
Some of the customers gasped and Katie turned around- "Oh, bloody hell, Ange!" she said- George and Lee quickly caught on and George moved like fire towards Ange. He held her in his arms and led her through to the store room so they could sit down. Katie ran off to go get some ice for her bruises.
"Baby… baby, what happened?" George asked her gently, knowing this bruising was from someone having violently attacked her. "I… I was going to meet… Katie and… some… some guy… he grabbed me… and…. I… think he took my money…" she said, dropping her bag onto the floor and holding onto George tightly. George could feel his blood boil with anger- some evil bastard had done this to his Angel.
Katie was walking back through the shop when she caught a snippet of a conversation that made her stand still. "… yeah, it was fucking easy, mate." She recognised that voice- it was that Snake, Kaine Grobbles. "And here we are spending Johnson's money in her fiancé's shop! Bitch- she always used to get on my nerves in Quidditch- time for some bloody revenge I thought" The group laughed- Katie quickly moved through to the store room, she gestured for George. He quickly got up and followed her out into the shop.
"Kaine- remember him…?" she whispered to George- "I've just heard him bragging about mugging Ange. He's in here now with that lot." She whispered again- George angrily moved away from Katie and looked towards the group huddled in the corner of the shop, laughing over something.
He moved over to them and grabbed Kaine by the back of his coat, turning him around and punching him in the face.
"You bastard!" he shouted as he punched him again- Kaine's friends managed to pull him back from George- "Weasley- for…" "Shut up, and get the hell out of my shop- NOW!" George shouted- but he couldn't resist the urge to punch him again. "And stay the hell away from my fiancé" he snarled at Kaine, before punching him again. Lee heard the commotion and went over- George and Kaine were soon fighting, knocking over displays and shouting absurdities at each other.
Will was stood nearby- he thought it was cool. He'd never seen anyone fight like that before. But that guy deserved it after what he'd done to his sister- he'd seen her bruised face when she'd walked in.
"Break it up!" Lee shouted- pulling George back, before Dean appeared for his shift- also pulling George back, having no idea how this had started anyway.
"Bugger off now, Grobbles." Lee said to a very, very battered looking Kaine, who quickly made a run for it with the rest of his gang. George had escaped well- only a few scratches. Compared to the horrendous amount of bruising on his poor Angel's face.
"Bastard" George muttered as he got into bed with Ange later that night- She sighed and pulled him closer, hugging him tightly- "I bet I look a right mess…" she said, tears pouring down her cheeks. Glad that she would be able to cover it all up with make up when she started work. "Baby… stop worrying about how you look, you'll always look perfect to me" he said comfortingly, delicately tracing the cruel marks on her face. "I'm glad I got to beat that smug freak up for this" he said proudly- before kissing Ange again- "Thanks for that" she said with a small smile. Proud that she had a guy that would so easily just do that for her. "It's okay, Angel- I'd do anything for you, you know that. I'd take anything for you…" he told her honestly, looking into her eyes, before kissing her deeply and falling back onto the sheets.
