A conversation at Grimmauld
Who: Lily and Sirius
What: Lily gets a job
Where: 12 Grimmauld Place
When: August 4, 2001
"Help Wanted" the sign had said. She'd ignored it at first, not really thinking about it. There wasn't a lot of work Lily could do, what with being a resurrected semi-famous person in the wizarding world, and with no papers for the muggles.
Sirius, Remus and James had been lucky, not only in finding work, but in working with things they loved. Thinking about what she was good at, Lily had begun to think about that sign more seriously. So she'd bought the sort of interview outfit she thought would go over well at a pub (a shade skimpier than she usually would wear, but all in the name of capitalism)and even splurged on a new pair of heels, and hoped to God or whatever divine force was taking an interest in her life currently that they didn't ask for papers.
...She hadn't expected to get the job. The proprietor, an older potbellied man, had given her outfit an appreciative once over, then asked her to pull a pint. She'd performed adequately, and after a brief conversation about mixed drinks (in which Lily seemed to have the upper hand) he'd offered her a job. Simple as that.
Now, what was she going to tell the boys? She'd neglected to mention to the owner that she came with her own small army that would probably be expecting free drinks. Lily paused after shutting the door, kicking off her heels with a groan of relief. "I'm home!" She shouted unnecessarily as she headed into the living room and flopped down on the sofa, realizing belatedly that she wasn't alone in the room.
