Lily had taken ballet when she was a little girl, she was pretty good too. But then that owl came flying through her window six years ago and it had been spells and potions ever since. Luckily she had loved it enough to never stop practicing, even if it meant late at night in an abandoned classroom or during her hogsmeade weekends. While, a strip club isn't the ideal place to pursue a career in dance, it helped to have at least a little experience. As much as a guy likes to think that its all about looking at the hot girls, it's only entertaining if they can put on a show for you otherwise you are wasting good money.

When Lily had started at Morgana's Dance, she had stood mostly in the back, her job being to always focus the attention back on the girl in the front. One night, a month and a half into her first summer there, they had been short staffed and there had been a major costume malfunction in the back that even some of the best magic was having trouble fixing. In a mess of confusion, Lily had accidentally been knocked onto the stage and the spotlight was immediately shined on her. Confused and scared Lily look towards the backstage to figure out what she was supposed to do. She saw her friend Ally, who had taken Lily under her wing, encouraging her to dance.

Still slightly confused, Lily began to sway her hips then music started, soft and slow giving her plenty of time draw everyone's attention. She took slow, deliberate steps forward until she reached the center most pole. She had yet to be trained on one, but it seemed simple enough if you had proper upper body strength.

Lily pulled herself up the pole then slowly twirled around it, making sure to create eye contact with as many guys on the way down as possible. When her feet hit the ground she bent her knees until she was in a squat, at that point she stuck out her ass in the faces of whoever was sitting in the front row. She was starting to have fun when she felt a tug on the bottom of her bikini bottoms and then something soft and thin was placed against her skin, the bottom of her bottoms snapping back against her ass. Looking down she saw a ticket and as the lights turned back on and the music came to an end she remembered where she was. A strip club, she had found joy dancing in front of a crowd of perverted horny men and when she exited the stage she grabbed the ticket.

Since wizarding money was coins, when men came in they cashed in their money for tickets, almost like muggles at a casino. The ticket she had been given was for five gallons, which let me assure you was a lot, especially for such a short and public dance.

Lily quickly found herself surrounded by the other girls, all telling her how well she did for her first alone dance and without rehearsal. The girls were finally prepared for their next number and were shuffled off the stage while Lily got a bottle of water.

"Ms. Evans," Lily turned around to see the owner of the club, Jason Malkovich, was standing outside his office, gesturing for her to enter. "That was an impressive performance you put on under so much pressure."

"Thank you sir." She was confused as to where this conversation was going.

"Now, someone with your skill set could pull in a decent crowd. Now, not only do I want to give you a few spotlight dances, but if you are interested you could start doing private dances, start working your way up." Lily finally understood, she was good and if she played her cards right she could start making some real money. But there was only one problem.

"What do you mean by, 'work your way up.'" She thought she knew, but how could she be sure.

"I'm sure you know that there's more to this business than dancing. Guys will pay for just about anything, especially when they could get this," he gestured towards Lily's body "for the right price. Hell, I have guys who will pay just to get to second base with you." He didn't try to be subtle as he looked at her chest. It was true that her breast were big even at sixteen. Now, I might not have the best ethics, but I won't set you up for anything more than that until you're a legal adult."

"So, if I just dance around and make out with a guy for a few minutes and you will pay me . . . how much?" She raised her eyebrow. If she was going to be put in this situation she might as well try to get some extra gallons out of it.

"Well, there is a small entrance fee, and after matching you even I need some hard liquor so alcohol sales will rise. I will let you have fifty percent from all your dances and seventy-five percent of all your private gigs." Jason reached out his hand, "Do we have a deal?"

Lily reached her hand out, but at the last chance as their fingers brushed, she pulled her hand back. "I have one little demand," No it was his turn to look confused but he also seemed slightly curious. "All my costumes have to come with a mask. I don't care about shaking my ass in some random guy's face and grinding up and down a few times, but at school I have a little bit of a reputation to maintain. So," She looked at him as he considered her new stipulation, "Do we have a deal?"

After a moment's hesitation their hands met halfway and shook in agreement.

Alright guys,

I think for the most part, I'm finished with backstory and we can finally get to the present. I really love my two reviewers, and it inspires me to write. Like now, I was supposed to start my homework two hours ago and now that it's past ten and I haven't started, because at least I know a few people are actually reading this. Well maybe not the author's note, because to be honest I only read them half the time myself.

REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, PLEASE?!

Truly your's,

Your Humble Writer.
