Remus was spending his evening patching his very favorite trousers. They didn't fit him the best of all his trousers, but they were brown corduroy, which meant they transferred well from casual to more dressy occasions. Well, not any more. The first hole had appeared at the bottom of a beltloop, and he had left that one for too long, as it was subtle and hard to see. When the second hole popped up today by the knee, he knew he could no longer pretend that the pants were in good shape. He got out the little box that held his sewing kit and rummaged around for a matching patch. His sewing kit was mostly patches, and he had one that fit the bill well enough.
Still, the pants would never be the same. They would never serve for dressy functions again. Remus moved his fingers with practiced precision as he stitched. He couldn't help but wonder if it was a sort of metaphor for life. He felt patched himself, no longer as versatile as he had once been.
