Chapter Two
Mia never had so much as she was having now, she had to guys flirting with her and to top off they were brothers. She felt like she was finally a real girl and not just the girl the guys use to help them study.
The only regrets she had was that she couldn't grab Luna, Ginny and Neville and bring them with her, she missed those three the most. But Ginny wouldn't leave unless Harry came with her but he went on the run to find the rest of the Horcrux's with Ron, she knew that without her they would lose but to be honest she was tired of being used for her brain.
Just for once she wants to be used for her body, she wanted to be the girl who gets the hot guys falling at her feet. She knew that with her new looks and the fact she already had two really hot guys helping her shop, she was already there.
As they continued to shop she asked them questions about their life in Ireland and why they came to the states. They told her all about how they would get in fights, study multiple in languages and how they were raised by a single parent. She told them of her life in England but omitting the fact she was a Witch, she told them how until recently she was used for her brains and that she was never thought of as a girl.
She told them that her school mates thought of her as a walking brain and how it's wasn't until she had a near death experience that she gained any kind of friendship. But they still only used her for her brain, then the only time she was seen as a girl her best friend yelled at her and treated her like garbage.
She told them about how just last year after helping her best friend in getting on the school sports for her house (she told them that her boarding school had four different houses), he kissed the school slag right in front of her. Making her feel like she was nothing but a friend to use for her smarts, that's why she got a makeover and left to come to the states.
She wanted to be seen for something other than her brains and she needed to let loose and maybe just maybe finally be the first choice instead of the last choice. After about three hours and nearly buying out every store they stopped in, they finally made it back home.
They helped inside with her stuff and even offered to help put it away, she told them that the stuff was just going to be left out until the furniture she bought was delivered the next morning. She bid them good bye so she could get ready for that night, she told them that if she was going to go to a bar with two hot Irish men she needed to look her best.
Mia quickly locked the door after kicking the boys out of her flat and pulled out her wand, since she was in America and over the legal age she didn't have a trace on her wand.
So she used her wand to put up a curtain for the shower and a divider between the shower and the toilet, then took everything she wanted to keep and put them up to make this flat feel more like home. She hung the clothes that needed to be hung on the shower rod until she could get a makeshift closet put together, she then folded the other clothes and placed them on the couch that she had pushed against the far wall.
She left her knickers in the bags until she got the furniture the next day, looking at the time she knew that the boys would want to head out soon so she put on her new green lace thong with bra to match with her new low rise jeans that showed off the belly ring she just had done that morning.
She put on a low cut black lace shirt that showed a little more than she would have dared to last year, she grabbed her black thigh high heeled boots and zipped them up. She might as well go all out if she was going to catch the eye of a hot guy, hell maybe she could get one of the brothers (preferably Murphy) to come home with her.
Another thing she would have never done, but this was the start of a new Hermione Jean Granger and she was going to live life to the fullest. She figured she would go to the University the next day after her furniture had been delivered, she would enroll and study whatever called to her.
As she was putting on the finishing touches to her makeup, there was a soft knock at her door; she quickly put her wand in a safe place and asked who it was.
It was Murphy asking if she was ready yet, after she put on her lip gloss she went to open the door. You could hear a pin drop when Murphy saw her when she opened her door, "I never wore anything like this back in England, so if I fall a few times it's because I am breaking in some new heels." Mia said smiling.
"That's okay I will be there to catch you, besides I think my brother and I will be getting into fights tonight. What I mean to say every guy in the bar tonight will be wanting to get you out of those jeans." Murphy said once he remembered he had a voice.
Mia just laughed "Too bad for them, I only like good looking Irish Men. They will just have to find some other girl to try to take home tonight, after all I will be on the arm of two good looking Irish Men." She said.
As she locked the door behind her, she heard a loud cat call and turned around to see who it belonged to. Standing behind Conner was a guy wearing a trench coat with a scruffy beard, he looked like he had hadn't slept in days.
"I suggest whoever 'cat' called me think twice or I might kick him in his bits so hard he won't be able to have kids. Besides the last person to make me mad got punched in the face and I broke his nose in two spots." Mia said as nice as she could.
Then the four of them headed off to the local bar that they frequented often, when they walked in every guy's eyes were glued on her. Taking a deep breath, she walked up to the bar and asked for a Jack and Coke, leaving the guy's a good look at her ass.
"Welcome to McGinty's fuck ass." The bar tender said, Mia could tell he wasn't cursing at her so she paid no mind to it. She had been at the bar alone for about five minutes, when some arse came over and offered to buy her a drink.
She told him that she was there with Murphy, Connor and the guy they called Rocco; that guy said that she could do much better than two scrawny dudes and a lame Italian.
Not paying him any mind she went over to where Murphy was and proceeded to hit on him, after explaining why quietly in his ear. But that didn't stop the guy from coming over and grabbing her by the wrist and telling her that she was dancing with him.
Murphy grabbed her but more gently "Tom, she is just fresh off the plane from England and she really doesn't like being man handled so I suggest you back off." He said.
Tom held on to her wrist even tighter and pulled her out of Murphy's grasp but he got the full force of Mia's temper, when she hauled off and punched like she did Malfoy in their third year.
Once she heard the bones breaking she stop hitting him in the face, "When a lady says no, she means no you stupid arse. I have dealt with guys like you before and believe me you are getting off lucky." Mia said right before going back over to Murphy.
The rest of the night she wasn't bothered and she continued to flirt with Murphy and sometimes Connor but it was Murphy that caught her interest the most. It was something about his eyes that drew her in, they were as blue as the Irish Sea; of course she hadn't been to Ireland since she was five so she could only guess.
When it was time for them to head home, Mia was stumbling around and laughing a lot. She was trying to tell stories of her childhood without revealing that she was a Witch and since she was drunk it was really hard for her to do.
The last time she was this drunk was when she and the rest of the fourth year girls snuck a bottle of Fire Whiskey into their dorm after the Yule Ball. They played truth or dare and if you refused the dare you had to take drink from the bottle, needless to say she had to sneak into Professor Snape Potion Store and grab a bunch of hangover remedy potions.
Once Murphy had her upstairs and outside her door, she pushed him up against the wall saying "You know what I have never had the chance to kiss and Irish man; I have kissed Bulgarians and English men but never an Irish man. Of course I wasn't about to go kiss the only Irish man in my house because that would be breaking the girl code, which is never kiss your best mate's boyfriend."
Before Murphy could respond she kissed him with full force, to her his kiss left her breathless once she was finished kissing him. "Oh Merlin Ginny was right; you do taste like Irish Crème; I should have kissed an Irish Man years ago. But then of course I wouldn't have enjoyed it like I did the one from you, now I should I be a good girl and bid you good or should I let my bad side win and invite you in for another round of kisses." She said.
While Murphy was contemplating her question, she had gotten her door open and disappeared without a second kiss. She was a vixen and she knew it, she locked her door and quickly changed into her bed clothes.
After she shut the door on Murphy, he went to his flat just a few doors down and told Connor that she let her angelic side win. All Connor could do was laugh, it was rare that a woman could resist them let alone just one of them.
Murphy was going to get to know her on her level and maybe just maybe have a real relationship.
As Mia was laid down for the night, she couldn't quite get over the silence she was now surrounded in. So she threw on a pair of Fred's old sweats (that she stole without his knowledge) and George's old Quidditch Jersey (again that she stole without his knowledge) and went out to sit on the roof of the building. She wasn't quite used to not sharing a room without four other girls squawking over the cutest boys or the latest fashion.
She had to admit, she actually liked getting the attention in a way she never had before but at the same time she missed her best friend Harry. As she laid down on the roof of the building she wondered if Harry and Ron were doing ok on the hunt without her, she knew that even with her help they wouldn't be able to win the war. Yes, that made her to be a coward for running but it was better than dying or becoming Draco's personal slave for the rest of her life.
She must have fallen asleep on the roof because the next thing she knew the sun was shining on her face, sitting up she stretched and figured she might as well go get a shower before the people show up with her furniture. As she headed back to her loft, she ran into Connor who was coming back in with a bag of doughnuts and three cups of coffee. She just smiled as he handed her one, along with a doughnut and said "Give me twenty minutes and send Murphy over, that's if you guys don't have to work today."
He smiled and said as she was about to head inside her loft "Nah, we got to work the night shift tonight but our morning is clear."
