Stars Are the Pearls of the Poor
Remus had never had much. His parents weren't rich and Dumbledore had brought him to Hogwarts on scholarship-- though Remus knew that 'scholarship' in this case meant something more like 'patronage'; the money was Dumbledore's own. He'd come across this gem in a book on the history of magic in China: "Stars are the pearls of the poor", it said.
He looked up when he read the line, watching Sirius across the Common Room. Sirius was play-punching James, who had apparently just won a game of Wizarding Chess against Sirius. Remus didn't know if they had finished their History of Magic revisions or decided not to do them altogether, but clearly neither were much concerned with the class.
"Hey Lupin, what are you staring at?" Sirius called as he caught Remus ogling him. "You like my arse or something?"
Remus smiled. "Might be," he called back. The other students in the Common Room laughed; they thought it was a joke. But they thought Sirius was an oyster as well-- a hard Black shell. Only Remus had the pearl.
