Alina walked down from the apartment that morning, yawning tiredly. She had spent most of the night awake due to some food poisoning from Fred's cooking, and now all she wanted to do was go get some fresh air. She looked when she reached the bottom of the stairs and found Verity standing at the counter, counting some things.
Growling gently, Alina walked around the counter and into the main part of the store, heading out the front door. She took a walk down and up Diagon Alley, enjoying how quiet the alley was. Thankfully, it was early enough that only store owners were out today, getting ready for the new day.
After greeting a few of them, Alina returned to the twin's store, seeing Verity at the counter. She shut the door behind her and was heading over to the stairs when Verity came at her, knocking her against the shelves. She knocked a few of the products off the shelves but thankfully, nothing was breakable. Alina launched herself at Verity, trying to get a hand on her but found it somewhat impossible.
Verity grabbed her around the side and tossed her over the counter into the center stand. Alina dug herself out from underneath the products then turned, watching as Verity launched at her once more, knocking her to the ground. Verity wrapped her hands tightly around Alina's throat, making sure it was impossible for her to breath.
"You don't deserve him" she said, glaring down at Alina. "He should be my boyfriend, my husband, my lover. You're just a sleeper!" she continued, tightening her grip even more. "I saw him first!" she shouted right as Alina passed out due to the lack of air. Verity released her grip on Alina's throat then went back behind the counter, counting products again.

Last night Fred cooked. Sadly some of the food he used were not fresh anymore sot he three of them got sick. They were fighting over who would be in the bathroom, the others having to use trash cans and such. George even barfed in the tub by accident since he couldn't stop and Fred was already over the toilet.They threw away the remains of food of course. Eventually he managed to get to bed but he was so tired he didn't wake until a long time.
It was still early for mostly everyone though not for shopkeepers who had to clean the store, make sure there was enough money in the cash box, that they had enough products and many more things. What woke George was a noise, a thud from downstairs. As if there was some fight. But it was impossible, no one should be in at this hour, the store was still closed. He noticed Alina was not in the bed next to him but he thought she could be in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Maybe Fred or Verity accidentally knocked down a shelf and some pranks fell over, it was logical with the noise he heard. But when he walked out of his room he saw Fred, looking as bad as he probably was. It wasn't him who made the sound but he had definitely came to the same deduction of his brother.
Walking downstairs, George looked around the shop. Verity had replaced everything apparently. And she was there, counting the money in the cash box. George walked down still haven't noticing Alina yet. "What was that noise?" he asked to Verity. She turned her head to face her employers in pajamas and robes. "What noise?" he asked innocently as if she truly had no idea.
George frowned and walked further into the store. Only then did he saw Alina. He widened his eyes in terror thinking she was dead. He yelled her name and came to her. He tried to feel her pulse but he was so panicked he couldn't. Fred asked Verity to go ask for some help as George started giving her the kiss of life.

It was quite some time before Alina was able to awaken thanks to George. She sat up slowly, trying to calm her fast beating hurt. Alina looked around, her eyes falling on Verity. She tried to stand up but couldn't, so she simply scooted away from the woman, acting almost like a scared child.
"Keep her away from me" she said simply, pointing her finger at Verity. Verity gave the others an odd look but when they looked at Alina, she turned that look into a glare right at Alina, making Alina scoot back even more.

George was so happy when Alina finally was back to normal. He was to hug her, kiss her all over her face to show how happy and relieved he was to have her back. But she was going behind him begging him to keep Verity away from her. He frowned staring at Verity who looked clueless. He turned his head to face Alina who just scooted back. He frowned once more coming closer to her. He grabbed her shoulder to try to calm her down. "What are you talking about Alina? Who did that to you?"

She looked at him, a scared look upon her face. "Verity did. She said you belonged to her and that I was a sleeper!" she said, pointing at Verity again. She couldn't believe how crazy she sounded. She wouldn't be surprised if he didn't believe her. If it was anyone else, she wouldn't believe them either.

George kept frowning unsure about it. He stared at verity once again. She never act like she was liking him so why she'd do something like this. Heck, he wasn't even sure if she could tell who was who between him and his brother.
He glanced at his brother. it was crazy but Fred was not the best to get Alina feel better so he walked back to get dressed telling Verity to stay in the store tand open it. George on the other hand, took Alina's shoulders and helped her get up the stairs back in the apartment. He walked with her in their bedroom. "Are you sure of what you're telling me? Verity? She can't even tell if I'm George or Fred." he said softly at Alina. He didn't want to call her a liar but he thought maybe she saw Verity before collapsing and thought she was the one who strangled her.

She looked at him, frowning. "I'm not going crazy or anything" she shouted at him, feeling like he was calling her a liar. She sat down on the bed, dropping heavily onto it. She looked over at him, glaring slightly. "I know it was her, she attacked me when I was coming back upstairs"

"Alright, calm down." he whispered feeling bad for having her shout like that. He sat on the bed next to her and held her hands. "I'm gonna have a conversation with her. I'll give her a warning, you're alive that's all that matters for now." he said, stroking her hair and caressing in the same time her face. "I really thought you were dead when I saw you there."

She looked at him, smiling gently. "I didn't do anything to provoke her either. All I did was go outside for a walk so I could feel better after Fred's cooking, but it didn't seem to help much after she threw me around like that"

George just held her in his arms. He hugged her tight just like he wanted a first. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, kissing it. "I'm so sorry Alina. You kept being jealous of her and I was sure you had no reason. I wasn't about to cheat on you with her, ever. But it seems like she thought the opposite, just like you."

She pulled back, looking up at him slowly. "I'm sorry. Like I said to you before, girls are territorial that's why I freaked out about her"

He shook his head looking at her. "You don't have to justify yourself." he told her. He hugged her once more tightly as if he seemed to forget just a little while ago she nearly died strangled and wanted to do it to her again in jsut a different way.

She hugged him back, sighing lightly. "What are you going to do about her?" she asked lightly.

He sighed back, totally puzzled with what to do. he moved away to look at Alina. "Would you prefer we fire her and hire someone else?" he asked her. "I don't know really if it would fix anything. But at least I'm gonna have a conversation with her, I promise."

She shook her head. "I don't want her to lose her source of income because of me"
