If his father could see him now, the old bastard would have such a smug grin on his face. Kieran James McCormack, otherwise known as Kirley Duke, was finally applying himself to something worthwhile. Not only worthwhile, but he was in charge of an entire country's treasury. He was not unaware of the significance of this, or the absolute chaos that would come tumbling down if he fucked it up. He could have kept his mouth shut, focused on the club, and no one would have said anything. But no, he'd acted on impulse, and now he was a Department Head. For the Ministry of Magic. Fuck.
He wanted to take it back, wanted to hole up in his music room and start creating, but it turned out he was still just as horrible at writing music and lyrics as he'd always been, and even if he had penned the Weird Sisters' newest epic, there was no band to share it with. No band to record it, to travel with, to party with. The band had been his life for fifteen years, and it was hard to adjust to not having them anymore.
There was still the club though. He might not have a band anymore, and he might be in charge of the financial future of the country, but he still had the club. He'd decided to skip the towers altogether; he was pretty sure the only free one was the owlery and that just wouldn't do. So he'd just started wandering, taking his time exploring the castle in a way he hadn't even as a student. Somewhere, there would be the perfect place for a club. He just had to find it.
He rounded a corner on the sixth floor and saw someone else coming down the hall towards him. A tall, gorgeous blonde who was just androgynous enough to have Kirley immediately interested. He tried to remember the name, Savannah's advice to start putting names with people. S, something. Scott, Sam...no, it was something more interesting than that. Scorpion, or something similar.
"It's Scorpius, right?" The name came to him as the distance between them closed.
