((Meh. I'm not fond of the name, but I couldn't think of anything and I was eager to open... And on that note, sorry if there are any typos or if something doesn't make sense. I wrote all this in a hurry. Ask if you have questions.))
As you walk down Lytter Alley you notice a piece of paper floating about. Upon closer look you discover that it’s an ad clipped out of the Daily Prophet.
Magical Images
Do you attend Hogwarts and want to show off your house pride? Or maybe you want to show your wizarding pride in general? Come down to Magical images now to purchase your very own custom or pre-made posters and banners.
Pre-made:
Posters ((avatars; about 100 by 100)): 2Galleons
Banners ((Signatures; Max size – 500 by 200)): 3Galleons
Custom Made:
Posters ((avatars; about 100 by 100)): 3 Galleons
Banners ((Signatures; Max size – 500 by 200)): 5 Galleons
Pre-made images are purchased on the spot and custom made images are sent by owl. Please allow a few weeks for each custom made image to reach you. None of the images are refundable.
Stores found in Lytter and Diagon Alley.
You look up, turning your head this way and that, wondering where the store is exactly. Looking back down at the ad, you notice more words appear…
Just walk straight down the street about fifteen paces and turn left.
You follow the instructions just as it stated in the ad and to your surprise, the shop is right in front of you. The big wooden sign clearly says ‘Magical Images’ and on the window, another sign says ‘Open’. Just under the ‘Open’ sign is a ‘Help wanted’ sign.

*Opening the door, Lumie pokes her head in, then the rest of her enters the store. She pulls a newspaper advertisement out of her pocket while walking up to Willow. Once she approaches the desk, she clears her throat*
Um, your advertisement said you were looking for help with your store, so I was wonder ing if there was a resume you wanted me to fill out?

-bangs her head against a cabinet door-
Oh, bruised purgatory!-ahem-
Er, right then. –dusts off her shirt-
Oh, it’s you, Lumie. How are you, dear? Did you say you are interested in working with me? Happy to hear it. You know what? I’ve seen what you can do… why don’t you just start as soon as you can? I need the help.
-grins-
I’ll send you an owl so we can sort out some things, all right?

*shuffles inside the shop with the tinkling of chimes from behind her as she closes the door once again*
Hello there. I saw your advertisement and was wondering if perhaps you needed some help. I know business is slow at certain times but I'm sure we could get this place up and running well.
I assume you may want to see some of my work am I right?
*she smiles expectantly*

*blinks*
Oh my! When did you enter, 'Moine? You must be as quiet as a mouse... or a cat, rather...
Anyway, yes, I would love the help to get this place up and running. I've actually seen a good deal of your work so a portfolio is not necessary. Just let me know when you are free to discuss business plans. Or we can just talk about it now...
*looks around*
I don't think we'll be interrupted...

Thank you! I would be happy to start talking business now.
*she looks around, and noticing that nobody around whispers*
So do you have any specific ideas? Perhaps we could start by putting up some advertisements/posters round.
I come from a Muggle family, so I assure you that I know many of the tricks and trades of marketing. *grins*

Fabulous! Your marketing skills will be more than a little helpful. We could make banners and flyers around the school. I think that’s a good start. Maybe we can even come up with a slogan? Oh, if you have any ideas of how I can organize this shop better, feel free to shoot it my way. I’m always open for new ideas.

To be honest with you I have never done banners(the big ones I mean not something like the one for TD). But I could most definately try, and then it would be a new skill learnt. 
I like the idea of a Slogan; it has to be something catchy, maybe with a bit of rhyme.
I was thinking perhaps we could do some sort of promotional thing for say, a week; sort of like Buy 1 Get 1 Free and the like. I've seen loads of such ads back home.
*lightbulb*
A sentence just popped in my head. It's quite random really: "Magical Images for your Imaginary Dreams". Cheesy isn't it?

Sorry to be double-posting but I got my craziest idea yet. 
*whispers*
I've been on TD for nearly 3 years now, and one thing I have never done is remove a single message from my outbox.(slacker!) So I was thinking, what if we do a sort of contest where the others try and guess the number of PMs I've sent, and those with the three nearest numbers get a free avatar or sig? What do you think? Maybe that would help kick in some life...

GAh, sorry! I should have checked up here sooner. I have been sick all of this week. 
I like all of your ideas! Oh my... You didn't delete a single PM? That's insane! We should definitely have a contest! But of course, we have to advertise first. You can go ahead and try making a banner. It really isn't too hard. I trust you. I'll make one too. Oh, um, I don't want anything too big though... Just a size that will catch someone's attention, aye?
Hmmm... *ponders over banner ideas*

*takes a step back to admire the banner*
Ooo, beautiful work, 'Moine! Did I tell you that I'm thrilled to have you on my staff? *grins*
Thanks for stopping by, Li. And I really do appreciate the advertising help.
