When she came home we spent as much time as possible together though. She taught me everything I needed to know to keep the house running.
I'm the youngest of four, by alot, and the only girl. My dad focused alot on his boys when I was a kid. Not his fault, just something all dads do. But the one time I could catch his attention was always on the Quidditch pitch. The first time I crawled, it was to get to my brother's new broom. So he decided that as soon as I could walk, I would fly. I played on kid's teams, but my favorite was when I could challenge my brothers. I could beat them. That's when I was his girl. So, I made it one of the biggest parts of my life. School work and my music could never catch his attention like Quidditch,"
she said, shaking her head to clear it. Way to bore him to death.
"So, Biochemistry? I know a whole lot more about the Muggle world than most wizards, but what is that?"
Derian was amazed and impressed by her nonchalance regarding her struggle to gain recognition from her father. Not many girls er age would be so composed--and that made him like her all the more. "Ahh, biochemistry is the organic version of chemistry. Basically, rather than investigating pure chemicals in a laboratory environment, biochemistry studies the chemical reactions and processes that make up the world around us. Its fascinating enough, but I prefer the pure chemicals to the natural stuff. Lab chem means more explosions and more amusement overall."

He grinned at her, "And you know a heck of a lot more than my poor brother. Do you know that he doesn't even know who Einstein is??"
