~ As the only two boys in their dorm returning home for the holidays, Regulus and Barty spend the night before alone in their room packing. Regulus marvels at how many socks he has lost in just a few short months and Barty spends more time exclaiming excitedly when he unearths possessions he forgot about than actually packing anything. ~

~ Despite what logic may dictate concerning school beds, Regulus' bed at Hogwarts is actually much softer than his bed at home. It's far smaller, yes, but after staying up for hours writing his first big essay of the year for Transfiguration, Regulus is very happy to get undressed and crawl into bed. Only problem is that when he gets in he finds himself tangled with someone else and hops out again immediately.~
