Regulus opened his eyes slowly, groaning as the bright sunlight streaming through his eyelids seemed to cause an instantaneous headache. He rolled his head back against the uncomfortable surface, realising quickly that he was leaning against the wall.
The sound of soft snoring filled his ears, and he blinked groggily to the left of where he was sitting. His best friend, Barty, was sitting beside him, resting his head on Regulus' shoulder. "Wake up," grumbled Regulus: he hated anyone else being pleasantly asleep while he had to be awake.
"...Ngh," muttered Barty irritably, nestling closer into Regulus. Rolling his eyes, Regulus jerked his shoulder, causing Barty's head to lurch downwards. "You're hurting me!" he snapped, rearing up to glare tiredly at Regulus.
"Well, it was a simple request," Regulus replied shortly, rubbing his aching temples.
Barty's deep brown gaze glowered at Regulus, and he climbed to his feet steadily. Regulus resisted the urge to roll his eyes—the last thing he needed was a hangover, plus Barty acting emotional.
