Tristain Hayden enjoyed taking naps quite a bit. He really hadn't stayed up that late the night before compared to how late he stayed up most nights. He never got enough sleep at night. He just couldn't fall asleep at night. He frequently sneaked out of the Slytherin dorm at night to do more interesting things. He always made up for not sleeping by nice, long naps both out of class and in class. Perhaps that’s why he couldn’t sleep at night. Some classes were easier to sleep through than others though. He had never stayed awake for an entire History of Magic... when he bothered to show up that is. (Nearly everyone slept through that class though, so really it wasn’t very shocking Tristain slept through it. It would be more shocking if he didn’t.) However, Transfiguration was nearly impossible to sleep through. He had slept in three... no four classes earlier that day. However, apparently that was not enough sleep for the Slytherin.
After his classes were over for the day Tristain dropped off his bag in his dorm room and changed out of his school uniform into a grey t-shirt and blue jeans leaving his clothes laying in a heap on top of his trunk like he always did. Then he made his way out to the Black Lake to do a bit of light reading before spending the evening not studying. Nothing was due tomorrow, except a silly Herbology assignment he was planning on skipping, so it wasn’t like he needed to do any work. Once he made it to the lake he sprawled out under a tree and began to read. It was the fourth book in a mystery series that Tristain enjoyed. Not long after he began to read from where he was before he figured out that the house elf had killed his master because the master had been abusing the wife for years and now she was pregnant so he couldn’t let his master beat on her anymore. It really was a nice little twist, he had met more than one rich snob who probably deserved to be murdered by their house elf. However, now that he knew the story had gotten a lot less interesting and Tristain started drifting off to sleep.
So there he was, laying under a tree fast asleep in a place that was not meant for over-grown seventeen year old boys to lay because people were likely to be walking around there. Most people were paying attention so they walked around or they stepped over him. Apparently someone was either annoyed or just not paying attention though, because very suddenly he got a rather abrupt awakening.
