"I Used To Think Of Myself One Way, But After This, I Am Something Else. And Still Me, I Think."
"The first step towards change is awareness. The second step is acceptance."
After everything Wanda Maximoff has gone through she truly thought that he...

For the first time in what seems like forever, Wanda wakes up with a smile on her face. With all the love and support she got from her friends the day before, she felt on top of the world. To them it didn't matter that her magic looks and acts differently. To them is just matters that she feels safe and welcomed, and Wanda could not ask for anything more.
Sitting up in her bed, she stretches letting the sunshine from the widow rain over her. Basking in the feeling she stays sitting while looking around her dorm room. She smiles to herself when she sees Hermione is still sound a sleep in the bed next to her, snoring. She slowly stands up from her bed and walks over to the bed and stands over her.
Slightly shaking her awake, Hermione groans and turns around into her bed. Laughing to herself Wanda shakes her again forcing the girl to sit up and glare. "You know, this is usually the other way around." The girl stretches and yawns, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Yeah well I was up most of the night working on an Ancient Runes essay." Wanda just looks to the girl and smiles.
"It's the first week of school and you already have an essay due?" Hermione knowingly looks down at her hands before speaking again. "Well it's not due for another 3 weeks, but it's better to have it done beforehand incase I get swamped, you know" Wanda just shakes her head and walks back over to her bed.
Crouching down, she gets her book and supplies ready for the day. Hermione eyes her wearily before getting up and walking over to the other girls bed. Sitting down turning her full attention to Wanda on the floor. "So... What has you all giddy and ready for classes this morning? Usually you have some sort of comeback as to why the day will be horrible."
Wanda shrugs with an optimistic look to her. Standing up with her uniform she makes her way to the bathroom, gazing over her shoulder to meet Hermione's eyes. "I don't know, today just feel different. I have a good outlook on the day." She smiles before enter the bathroom to change. She quickly strips and takes a quick shower before re entering the dorm.
She grabs her things quickly and hooks her arm with Hermione's. Making their way out of the dorm and into the common room they are met by Harry and Ron sitting on the couch waiting for them. They stand up, and all start making their way to the great hall for breakfast.
In Wanda's eyes everything about today already feels better. No one is giving her weird stares. No one is making snide comments as she walks by, except for the occasional slytherin but that didn't bother her. She was determined to make the best of today, and nobody was going to take that from her.
Once they enter the great hall they make their way to the Gryffindor table and start eating immediately. Everything was going great until Draco and his goons come over the table laughing, trying to look smug. Wanda rolls her eyes and waits for whatever the pale boy has to say. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here." Ron looks to him with disgust. "What do you want Malfoy." He ask, his voice laced with anger.
