Previously: He waited patiently as he heard her step up the last flight of stairs and grabbed her hand and got her trapped with her hands held above her head. With the wall behind her back and Draco in front of her, she didn't have a way to escape. Draco examined the familiar face and noticed that it was Hermione…

~*Hogwarts' Bad Boyz*~
~*Chapter 8: Is She Playing Hard to Get?*~
Seeing who it was, he grinned maliciously.
"Hello, Granger."
"Malfoy?! What are you doing here? Let go of me!" She squirmed and kicked violently but failed since Malfoy had her trapped tightly in between him and the wall.
He had to admit that he was a little bit disappointed that the student that he had caught was a prefect so he couldn't steal points away, but she turned out to be Hermione, so it didn't matter that much.
He dove in for a kiss like an eagle to it's prey. Hermione tried to push him away, she realized that the more she struggled the tighter his grip on her was, kind of like the Devil's Snare, she thought. So she relaxed and let herself melt into his heartwarming kiss that was making her knees go weak but she refused to respond to it. Hermione slid her hands out of Draco's loose grip and placed her hands on his chest gently as if she was going to kiss him back. As soon as he let his guard down, she shoved him into the wall on the opposite side and made a break for it.
Draco looked at her retreating back. That was when he noticed the different change in her clothing. Her usual loose fitting robe was now clinging to her bodice with the bottom part flaring out and swaying back and forth as she walked. Draco licked his lips just thinking about it. There was a big slit in the front of her robe all the way to her waist showing her beautifully tanned legs with the type of skirt that Draco had only seen on Pansy and the other sluts. But they never looked good with the short skirts. But Hermione looked good in the uniform. Draco saw that she was walking in a was that was different from the way that she usually walked, but this new way accented her hourglass form.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione had wanted nothing more than to run away from Malfoy. But Lavender's platforms forced her balance by swinging her hips. She couldn't even walk normally because if she did, then she would just fall flat on her face. It had taken her a whole hour to master the art of walking in the new shoes. Now she knew how and why some of the girls in school walked the way they did. Often attracting many appreciative glances from the male students. In the end, she escaped by half walking have running. She hoped she didn't look like a waddling duck to Malfoy, but she didn't know that he found her new way of walking/running, sexy.
Hermione crawled into the portrait hole to the prefects common room and without saying anything to Justin and Padma who was playing a game of wizards chess by the fireplace, she went into her room. She slammed the door, causing the chess pieces of Justin and Padma's game to topple over and start complaining.
Hermione kicked off her platforms and wasn't surprised to see her left foot turning to a purplish color. She had tripped over her own feet just this morning when she wasn't accustomed to walking with her new shoes. She changed into some skimpy, lacy lingerie that was supposed to be her pajamas. She had just came back from the library before she ran into Malfoy. She had wanted to find how she could change her clothes back. But she found out that she wouldn't be able to, only the casters of the spell could do it. Even worse than not being able to change the clothes back was that even if she get new clothes, it would automatically transform into skimpy form fitting clothing. Apparently, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati had cast a spell on her that she, once again, would not be able to undo.
She sighed and collapsed onto her bed and closed her weary eyes. Walking around in those platforms all day could be really tiring, especially if you had a extra heavy book bag. She wondered how the other girls did it, but she remembered that they hardly had any books with them at all since all the boys carried it for them. Maybe she will be able to get Harry or Ron to carry a few of her books for her once in a while. With that in mind, she fell into a dreamless sleep.

~*Draco's POV*~
Draco walked into his room and began thinking over the possibilities on why Hermione changed so much.
'I know that Granger changed a lot over the summer, but she was still very conservative, but now, she's totally different. But her attitude is still the same. Could it be that she's finally noticed that there are other things besides studying? That's a possibility. A makeover by her girlfriends? Nah! Granger would have changed back right away. Maybe she wants more attention from the male students. Perhaps she already got a taste of the attentions from some of the male students, other than me, and wants more of it? Could it be that she's developed a crush on Harry or Weasel? Or anybody else for that matter...'
'I know!' *Ding! Light bulb!*
'Why haven't I ever thought of it before? She has developed a crush on me. And she wants more of my attention, just like the other girls.' (A/N: Arrogant isn't he? ) ' But why did she ignore me and push me away?'
'She's probably playing hard to get. She is just like the other girls except for the fact that she wants to be special and play hard to get so I'd be more attracted and pay special notice to her. That's why! Well Granger. Get ready for the ride of your life!'
~*End of POV*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione sashayed into the Great Hall for breakfast and received many stares from the male population. It was Saturday and there wasn't any classes so she had woken up late. She took her usual seat beside Ron facing Harry. But today, she found herself facing Cho Chang. She blinked once, then blinked again. There was an arm wrapped around Cho and Hermione traced the arm back to Harry.
'That's weird because no matter how many girlfriends Harry has, he never brings them drooling to breakfast because breakfast, lunch and dinner is the private time for the three of us. Harry wouldn't have forgotten. And didn't harry already dump Cho the last few weeks?'
(A/N: she's a bit slow this morning…)
'Hey! Cho isn't drooling over Harry like the other girls.'
While Hermione was thinking things over in her head, she was just staring off into space, hardly even blinking. Worried, Ron and Harry tried several attempts to get her back to the real world.
"EARTH TO HERMIONE!!!" Ron yelled into her ear.
Cho whispered something into Harry's ear and Harry shook his head in disapproval.
'Maybe I should ask Harry about it.'
Ron was about to yell again seeing that Hermione didn't respond to his last one.
"HER…"
"RONALD WEASLY! Would you PLEASE STOP SHOUTING?!? It's RUDE!"
"Now look whose shouting" Ron mumbled.
"I was only shouting to stop your shouting. And Cho Chang, please don't say anything bad about me behind my back thinking I don't know. I know everything."
"Harry, why is Cho here anyways?"
"She's my girlfriend."
"Well. So is Sally, Jamie, Sarah and Sara, Judy, Danielle, Jo… mph."
Harry covered her mouth before she could go on since Cho's face was starting to change colors. How is this girl able to remember so many names anyway? He was the one who dated them and he doesn't even remember their faces now, never mind their names. Harry didn't release Hermione until she bit him.
"Why is she here? You didn't forget that all three of the meals are supposed to be our private time together did you?"
"No, I didn't forget. Hermione, I've decided to settle down! Cho's my steady girlfriend now. No more playboy life for me!"
Hermione's jaw opened all the way down till it hit the table. Her attitude towards Cho immediately changed.
"Sorry for being rude to you. I'm just rude to the girls that drool all over Harry all the time, but now that you're his steady girlfriend… Well, that changes the perspective of everything." Hermione started talking to Cho is a more friendly way.
"How did you manage to get Harry to stop his playboy life?" Hermione asked curiously.
"First I….."
Cho and Hermione quickly got engages into a conversations that was obviously interesting to both of them. Harry and Ron looked at them and tried to catch on what they were talking about but found that they weren't able to catch any part of the 'girl language' so they gave up and started their never ending discussion on Quidditch.
When Cho and Hermione had finally tire of their conversation, Cho got involved onto Harry and Ron's debate on whether the Chudley Cannons were going to win the League again. Ron, ofcourse was rooting for the Chudley Cannons, while Harry and Cho objected and said that the Chudley Cannons should just give up and retire.
Hermione, with nothing to do, looked around the Great Hall and her eyes were immediately locked onto a pair of silver eyes locked onto hers. Draco stared lustfully at her. Disgusted Hermione turned away. She excused herself from Harry, Ron and Cho, who didn't seem to notice or mind her going away at all, and left through the big wooden doors of the Great Hall.
Seeing her leave, Draco immediately followed after her.
