Rigel Black reads ridiculously widely, Aldon knows, and he's a near-expert in half a dozen fields while being a genius at potions; it might make a lesser man jealous, but Aldon has nothing but the purest admiration for Rigel's boundless intellectual curiosity. He doesn't need to be an empath to read the utter glee the younger boy is radiating as he sits by the fire with a fat tome. But then his blood goes cold as he sees what he's reading -- he immediately seeks out Pansy and starts plotting an intervention; the world as they know it cannot survive if Rigel applies his prodigious talents to necromancy.
The Pureblood Pretense (murkybluematter), dubious reading material
