This is for AsterLea's Dads and Daughters Challenge. I got Seamus and daughter. The fic is 1,000 words. This fic was inspired by the song 'Be Somebody' by Fort Minor. I do not own the song of the characters, except all the OC characters.

This is also for Schermionie's The 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Challenge. This may turn into a series, compiling all of my OCs together. So none of these will be related.

Arista sat in her room; she sat on her bed resting her head on her knee. She sat there boredly as she thought about her father, who was working at the time. Arista's room wasn't adorned with rainbows and butterflies. Her room had posters all over it of Muggle and wizard singers, some of them had funny clothes on which always made her laugh.

She always wanted to be somebody, someone for her mother and father to proud of. She wanted to be like her older brother who was the best at everything. He brother though always made fun of her dream to be a musician. Arista stands up and walks over to her purple electric guitar, her father's friend gave it to her for her eighth birthday thinking it would be a good gift for her. After her eighth birthday she began to learn how to play and now she knew how to play several songs after she turned thirteen.

Walking back to her bed she sits down and begins to play a song that she really liked. It was a song that one of her favorite singers made. The song was about being somebody and she liked it so much when she first heard it, she just had to learn it.

This is the story of them against us
Win or lose
Forcing your feet into someone else's shoes
Everybody's got something to say

She soon stopped playing the song, placing her guitar on the floor she began to cry. She didn't like how her brother always judged her. This used to make her mad when she was younger but now she just got sad whenever she heard anyone not approve of her dream. She just wanted to just be the most perfect person that she could be.

Arista than hears a knock on her door. She could hear someone talking to someone else on the other side. This made her annoyed, she wanted to be alone and she didn't want to talk to her annoying mother; she took her wand and did a quick spell so they couldn't get in.

"Please can I come in," her mother asked. "I want to talk to you."

"Leave me alone," screamed Arista, as she turns around and screams into her pillow. "I don't want to talk to you, so leave me be."

"Why can't I come in," her mother asked, as she banged one of her fists against the door.

Arista sat up and said, "I don't know because you are not my real mother, you are only my stepmother so I don't care about you. So leave me be or I will do something."

"What will you do," asked her mother. "Your threats are very vague. I want to hear what you are going to do."

"Hmm, I am going to run away or maybe I will kill myself," Arista screamed. "I don't care whether I live or die and I know you don't care either."

Then there was silence, which made Arista very skeptical. She walked up to her door, going to the ground she looked to see if she was still there. Seeing her feet Arista curses under her breath and walks to her bed, she then lays down so she can wait for her father to come back from work.

Soon someone knocks on the door again. This person waited for awhile, not saying anything while she made up her mind to open the door. She could guess that it was her father so she took her wand out and opened the door quickly so her father could come in. when her father walked in he looked all around the room and he began to laugh.

"Your room is very neat," her father said as he looked down at her purple guitar which was right by her bed.

Arista looked at her father and said, "Is that a bad thing to have my room be neat?"

"No, it's not a bad thing," he said, smiling. He then becomes serious, "Miss Lani Arista Finnigan, you have been acting up toward your mother. Why are you acting up toward her?"

Arista shrugs and says, "She isn't my real mother, so I have no respect for her. Plus she doesn't care whether I live or die."

"She does care but doesn't show it like I do," her father said.

Arista looked at her dad and replied, "I want you to be here more, you hardly heard me play and when I do play the evil witch screams for me to stop playing. She wants me to do more schoolwork and to play less too."

"It's always good to do a little more schoolwork," her father said. "You know you have your OWLS soon and you know it would be great if you got challenging courses."

Arista rolled her eyes and said, "I already get the top of my class, I think I am okay concerning school. I am actually going to try out for Quidditch as a Chaser or maybe a Seeker. Though I will still play my guitar, I still want to be a musician unlike my boring brother."

Seamus laughed and said, "Lani, you can be whatever you want to be as long as you know that what you want to do is the right thing, and when you know that don't let anyone shake you from your path."

Arista smiled at her father's words. She was so happy that her father supported her that not much else mattered to her sometimes. She walks up to her dad and gives him a hug, "Thanks dad, for believing in me."

Her dad nods, "Play a song for me; I want to hear you sing for once. I am beginning to miss it."

Arista smiled, she grabbed her guitar and began to play the song that she was playing before. She loved the song.

We sleep to build stamina
Energy to do our thing
