A/N: Hey, I finally got this chapter up. Sorry it took me so long, but I tried to make it longer this time and the frickin thing wouldn't upload yesterday.

Warnings: Attempted rape (not graphic) and a few words of "foul language"

Needing You

Not-So-Love Shack

Achoo! Achoo! "Great, thought Jas, "now I have a cold." Having left for the castle and dinner after ice-skating, Jas realized why most people had stayed inside. She knew getting sick was not good for her body because of the illness, but she had thrown common sense out the window. Jas held back from going to Madame Pomfrey, dreading the medi-witch's wrath.

"Hey, luv, what's up?" Harry leaned in for a kiss but was stopped by Jasmine's hand held in front of his face.

"Sorry Harry, but I got sick from being outside," Jasmine coughed then, missing Harry's eye-roll.

"Oh, well then I hope you get better. Later." Harry walked off, without waiting for a reply.

Jas sighed and walked over toward Amy, hot soup awaiting her. She was beginning to wonder about her boyfriend's attitude. He seemed to be getting snappy.

After dinner, Amy practically dragged Jas to the Hospital Wing for a Pepper-Up Potion. Madame Pomfrey threw a fit, yelling for what seemed like forever. Thankfully, she did not keep Jas overnight, but the glare Madame sent her as she walked out the door nearly burned a hole in her back.

Three days later and it was time for the first Hogsmeade trip of the year. Jas was really excited, having never been to the bustling village. Harry had invited her to spend the time with him, Ron, and Hermione. Jasmine met the Trio by the Entrance Hall doors and they headed out, Jas oblivious to the vicious looks from Hermione and the smirks the boys gave each other.

The first shop they went to was Honeydukes. Harry bought her all the candy she could possibly want and then some. "It's all for you, pet," Harry whispered in her at the checkout counter, inwardly gagging at the sentimental words. He really was a sweet boy.

Next, they visited Fred and George at the newly opened Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, which was turning out to be more popular than even Zonkos.

"Top of the mornin' to ya mates!"

"Actually, Gred, it's the afternoon."

"Sorry, Forge, must have slipped me mind."

"No worries, dear brother, I forgive you."

"Ahem!" Ron cleared his throat loudly to get the twin's attention again. Over the years, they seemed to get more annoying to him.

"Well hello there,"

"I'm Gred, I mean Fred,"

"And I'm Forge, I mean George,"

"And we, my pretty lady,"

"Are the owners of,"

"This fine establishment!" Both twins finished together.

Jas was immediately smitten with the two charming boys, enjoying their humorous personalities and quick wits. The twins showed her around the shop for the next half-hour, shoving their best pranks into a bright pink shopping cart. The four Hogwarts students left the shop later with packages shrunk and pocketed, only after Jas promised to visit again soon. Fred and George were like the older brothers she never had.

After the joke shop, the two couples decided to go to the Three Broomsticks for some warm Butterbeer. They filled the awkward silence by making small talk, finally deciding on the subject of Snape. Jas, who didn't want to enter the bashing Snape contest, glanced absentmindedly around the place. Finally, she skimmed over an interesting scene.

Amy and Seamus Finnigan were engaging in a frenzied snog session at a back table. She was basically sitting on the Irishman's lap, sucking his face off. "Interesting." The others didn't hear her, happy to ignore her for a while longer.

Jasmine continued her scan of the pub with mild curiosity. All of a sudden, she locked eyes with Draco. He was sitting with his two best friends, Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson, laughing over something Zabini had said. Breaking the eye-contact, Jas looked Draco up and down. Fitting black pants, dragon-hide boots, and a tight, navy blue muscle shirt. "Whoa. That's hot," Jasmine thought, blushing.

"Cor, she's fine," Draco thought, also checking her out, but instead of blushing, he smirked.

Harry pulled Jas out of her thoughts with a question. "Do you want to leave now? I'm getting bored."

"No, Jasmine did not want to leave the warm shop (or Draco), but she got up anyway. Harry led her outside and Jas noticed Ron and Hermione hadn't followed them out. When she voiced this, Harry replied, "I wanted for us to be alone for a while. Let's go to the Shrieking Shack, I'll show you around.

Jas grew more nervous as they walked toward the secluded building. She had heard from Amy that the shack was the most haunted place in Britain. "Are you sure about this Harry?"

"Positive. Nothing will happen to you. Even if something did, I will be here to protect you. Now let's hurry, we don't have much time." Harry knew the truth about the building, but didn't tell Jas, wanting her to come to him for comfort.

The two entered the creepy house, avoiding all the smashed and ripped furniture and headed for the stairs. An owl hooted outside, and Jas let out a terrified squeak, jumping against Harry along the way. Harry held Jas's body flush up against his for a moment longer and made a decision.

When the couple reached an upstairs bedroom, Harry suddenly began to kiss Jas passionately. Confused, Jas took a moment to realize what Harry was doing and then came to her senses. She tried to gently push Harry away from her but instead, he gripped her wrists tightly.

"C'mon, luv. I think it's time for our relationship to move to the next level," Harry said, forcing a struggling and whimpering Jasmine against the wall.

"No, Harry, please stop. I don't want this. Just stop," begged a now crying Jasmine, scared of her changed boyfriend. SMACK! Harry hit her and she covered her stinging cheek with her hands. Harry took the opportunity to pin her and start unbuttoning her pants. Jasmine, stunned, thought of something quick. She knew Harry was not going to stop unless he made her.

"Stupefy!" Jas screamed, having deftly fished her wand from her back pocket. Harry slumped to the floor, unconscious. "He was going to rape me. The bastard was going to rape me," she dazedly stated, still in shock. Doubling over, she vomited until there was nothing left in her stomach to spill.

Not knowing how long the Potter boy would be knocked out, she raced down the stairs, out of the house, and back towards Hogsmeade. The only thing she could think of was to find Draco. Tears still streaming down her bruised and swelling face, Jas rushed into the Three Broomsticks, finding the table where Draco had been now vacated. She spun around at someone's tap on her shoulder.

It was Ron and Hermione, smiling evilly at Jasmine's obvious distress. "Aww, what's the matter Jas, Harry popped your cherry?" Ron sneered, laughing at Jasmine's stricken face.

"What?" Jasmine asked incredulously, hardly believing her ears.

"You were just a bet, you know. We were seeing how long it would take to nail the new girl," Hermione stated, a cool and degrading look on her smirking features. The couple laughed as Jas ran crying out of the pub.

Nearly blinded by her tears, Jas finally stumbled into the castle. Ignoring the looks from other startled students, she continued to the dungeons in an attempt to find Draco. At last, she spotted a Slytherin entering his common room. Jas ducked inside before the wall concealed the entrance again, and set out to find Draco's dorm.

A minute later and an exhausted and drained Ravenclaw was knocking on Malfoy's private dorm door. After a moment, a puzzled Draco opened his door to find a sobbing Jas. The first thing he noticed besides her tears was the swollen and bruised left cheek of his beautiful angel.

"I am going to MURDER that little piece of shit!" the blonde boy said, ushering the trembling Jas into his room and onto the black leather couch.

After ordering a house elf to bring them tea and a bag of ice, the two settled in for a long conversation. Half an hour later, Jas has told the Slytherin all about what Harry had tried to do and the things Ron and Hermione had said. It was all Jas could do to stop Draco from going out to kill the Trio.

They had missed each other more than they had thought. Both Draco and Jas apologized and were friends again. By the time they had finished talking, it was past curfew, and they had to decide on a course of action. Eventually, Draco convinced Jas to stay with him for the night, saying he would sleep on the couch. Jas would have none of it, firmly telling the other blonde they would share the bed like two civilized, mature people.

Although the night started out with the two far apart, by the morning they could be found spooning against each other, Draco's arm wrapped securely around Jas's waist and Jas's head resting against Draco's shoulder.

A/N: I'm really really really sorry that I didn't have this chapter out until today, but it really wouldn't let me upload it yesterday. Overall, I am very nervous about this chapter, I just think it could have been better. I know some people are probably not too happy with the Trio's actions or Draco's softness, but it's just how the story flowed. On a brighter note, I like the title for this chapter. Love Shack is a really good song, and I just like it. So don't hate.

Thanks to my lovely reviewers: angelsofthefire08, flip chick, and pink-flame-kit. You have made my day.
