The beech tree by the lake was one place every Hogwarts student had been at least once. It provided shade on hot days and a place to sit down and have a picnic. It provided shelter for students stuck outside in the rain. It was where everyone gathered to start skating on he frozen lake in the winter. Flowers and herbs that grew around its roots in the spring made it a lovely spot to sit down and have some fun.

Yes, the beech tree was a favourite spot for the inhabitants of Hogwarts. Students swotting in the sweltering heat for their exams; teachers enjoying a quiet meal away from their energetic charges; teenagers running around trying to push each other into the lake; friends helping each other with homework; snowball fights; heartbreaks; fights between friends - everything had happened under the beech tree.

But the tree's favourite incidents were those stolen moments that couples enjoyed in its shade. It was wide enough and leafy enough to provide secret, romantic places around its trunk or in its branches. Breakups, tender moments, passionate kisses, romantic picnics, even proposals - the tree had seen them all.

This is a story of some of the beech tree's favourite moments in the life of ten couples. Some couples had sad times under the tree, some had happy instances. But what was important was that all of those couples were completely in love.


So, this is a little celebration of love under the beech tree. This collection is for the Pairing Drabble Competition on HPFC. There are going to be ten canon/plausible canon drabbles. I hope you'll enjoy them all!
