Sometimes you have to do the unconventional thing to make ends meet. Lily's parents had died during her fifth year at Hogwarts, and when she came home for the summer, the only greeting her sister had for her was a locked door and a note telling her she was on her own. She had a little money put aside, but it was only enough for a couple nights stay at the Leaky Cauldron. She spent her first two days looking at all the obvious places, both magic and muggle alike, for a job. But none of those seemed to work out.
Now, don't judge what a girl will do to have a warm meal to eat.
On Lily's fourth day looking for a job, she was left with only enough for another day, two max. She was searching the want ads when a well dressed man approached her and decided to take the empty seat in front of her.
"Now, I know a girl desperate for a job when I see one," immediately Lily became hesitant about the man before her, something about him made a shiver run down his spine. "Lucky for you, you're pretty." He dug around his pocket and eventually pulled out a business card. "Call me if you really need the money." He winked at her, then got up and walked away.
Lily looked down at the card, Morgana's Dance, she had heard of it before, it's reputation amongst the male population at school was legendary. It was a strip club and extremely hard to get into apparently as all the guys here year had tried with no success. But it went farther than just exotic dancing, it was also infamous for it's escort business. The idea of becoming a part of this disgusting place made Lily feel sick, but even in the end she couldn't bring herself to throw the card away.
Three days later she was forced to back up what few belongings she owned and was left with no other options. As she put the last of her school textbooks into her trunk, the business card fluttered to the ground. Over the past few days she had thought about the job offer more and more, but her pride kept her from giving it more than a moment's thought. But this was it, she had no place to go and she really needed the money. Lily promised herself that it would only be for a few months - till the start of the new school year tops - while she looked for a better, more respectable job.
However, a year later she found herself knocking on the back door to Morgana's Dance getting ready for another long night of work.
This is definitely marked M for a reason. This was just the prologue, let me know if this is a story that you are even remotely interested in.
