Hello, this is the prequel for 'Cassie Weasley and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This story is about Sunshine 'Sunny' and Hopeful 'Hope' White, Cassie's mother and her aunt. It's about her time in Hogwarts and her days as a Marauder. I only own Sunshine, Hopeful, Rikki, Charles, and Julius.

The year was 1971 when I got my Hogwarts letter. Even though my parents are muggles, I knew everything about witches and wizards. I know about them because my brother, River White, is a wizard, in fact, he's the President of the American Wizard World. He came up with the idea for a wizard democracy after he came back from his finale year at Hogwarts. I'm rambling again, aren't I? I do that a lot. Anyways, my name is Sunshine Ray White, my friends call me Sunny, and my twin calls me Ray. I know I have a weird name, but my parents are hippies. They named my twin Hopeful Lee White. I keep telling my sister that our parents were on crack when mom went through labor, but no, Hope thinks that I'm on crack instead. Again, I'm rambling. That's a weird habit that I have. So, where was I? Oh, yeah, talking about mine and Hope's Hogwarts letter. So, we were enjoying the summer day when we got it. I wanted to play basketball, but my sister didn't want too, said that she might ruin her new skirt that mom made for her. So instead, we were talking about Marc Riley, the hottest boy at Pine Wood Elementary, the school that we go too.
"I wish Marc would notice me." Hope sighed. Then, all of a sudden, we saw an owl coming this way.
"Probably River's." I said. But as the owl got closer, we saw that it wasn't River's owl, Apollo. It swooped down next to us, and dropped letters in our strawberry bowl.
"You don't see that everyday." Hope said.
"Unless you're us." I said back. I looked at the letters and saw our names and the Hogwarts sign. I grabbed mine and tore it opened.

Dear Ms. White,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress.

"Mom! Come here!" I screamed with excitement.
"Honey, why did you interrupt my yoga?" I looked up to see my mom in her bellbottom jeans, a tye-dye peasant shirt, and a vest over.
"Mom! We get to go too Hogwarts!" Hope jumped up and down with joy.
"That's great! I'll go call for take-out, and then call River." Mom walks back into the house, and hums 'Surfin' USA'.
"Let's get packing." I grab Hope's hand and drag her into the house up the stairs, and into the room that we share.
"Okay, first thing first, my comic book collection." I said while grabbing my trunk.
"Why do you want to pack those?" Hope asked.
"Because Justice League of America is cool." I said while picking up one.
"Whatever." She mumbled. Me and my twin are complete opposites. She likes skirts, I like pants. She likes sappy love stories, I like comic books. She would rather jump rope, I would instead like sports. We still love each other though. We heard a knock on the door, and we hear our brother's voice.
"River!" we both scream. We ran out of our room, went down the stairs, and jumped River.
"We missed you so much." I said.
"I saw you guys yesterday." He pointed out.
"But we love you so much." Hope said.
"Girls, get off your brother, the take-out guy is here." Dad told us. We both smile sheepishly and got off of River. We talked about when we would go to Diagon Alley, what books we need, and about Hogwarts.
"What's it like, River?" Hope asked.
"Hogwarts is the best place on earth." He said.
"No, Disneyland is." I stated.
"Second best. The are some cool teachers, there's McGonagall, she's very stern, watch out for her, Slughorn the potion teacher, he has a 'Slug Club' party thing, he'll ask any of his brightest students to join, but they all mainly have connections to big stuff. There's Professor Binns, he teaches History of Magic, and he can put anyone to sleep. Then there's Flitwick, the charms teacher, and others." He said.
"Get to bed girls, River has to go too Forks about a shape shifter problem, and we're leaving for London tomorrow." Mom said.
"Night, bring me something back, okay?" I asked Riv.
"Sure Sunny." He gave us both hugs and Apparated out of the house, and me and Hope went to our room, and went to bed.

The Next Day

"Wake up girls! I have hotcakes on the griddle!" Mom shouted to wake us up.
"Morning Lee." I said, rubbing my eyes.
"Good morning Ray." She replied, already dressed and ready.
"How can you not be tried?" I said.
"I don't know, nut shouldn't you live up to your name, Sunshine?" she asked.
"Whatever, Hopeful." I mumbled.
"Get up, River is making a portkey for us." She said.
"I'm up." I dragged myself out of my bed, got dressed in a tye-dye shirt, bellbottom pants, and flip-flops. I went to my mirror and put my red hair up in a pony tail. I looked in my reflection, seeing my sea-blue eyes shining at me.
"I look good." I said, smirking at myself.
"If you look good, then I look good." I looked at Hope and saw her in the same outfit.
"Want to confuse people?" I asked, smiling.
"Oh yeah." She replied. We linked our arms together and went down the stairs.
"Why do you girls always do this to me?" Mom said as we walked into the kitchen.
"But we love doing this to you." we both said at the same time.
"Morning girls." Dad said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Robert, can you tell your daughters to tell me their names." Mom asked.
"Oh, so whenever they do something you don't like, they're my daughters?" Dad asked.
"Yup, just like River is my son." She joked.
"Girls, just say your names to your mother." Dad said, smiling.
"Sunny" "Hope" we said at the same time.
"Real original." Mom mumbled. We all laughed and ate the food that Mom gave us. After we were done eating, we double checked that we had everything packed.
"Girls, gather around the spoon." Dad told us. We gathered around the portkey spoon, and grabbed on to the spoon, and everything started spinning.

London

"I hate portkeys." I said. I looked around to see that we were in a field.
"Okay, we're going to be staying with a friend of River, do you remember Arthur Weasley?" Dad asked us. I remember meeting him when we went to River's graduation, he seemed nice enough.
"Yeah we remembers him." We both said.
"Okay, let's get walking." Dad said. We grabbed our stuff and made our way to the 'Burrow' as Arthur called it. It looked like a really tall house, at least 7 stories. We went up to the front door and knocked.
"Coming!" a female voice said from the inside. The door opened to reveal a plump lady.
"Hello dears. You must be the Whites! I'm Molly, Arthur's wife." She said, shaking Dad's hand.
"Hello, I'm Robert, and these are my two daughters, Sunshine and Hopeful." Dad introduced us.
"Hello, Arthur has a little brother going off to Hogwarts too. I'm sure you will be friends." She said as she guided us in. The inside of the house looked amazing.
"You have a beautiful home, Mrs. Weasley." Hope said.
"Oh please dear, call me Molly." She smiled.
"Molly, whose that?" called someone up stairs.
"It's Mr. White, Arthur!" she said. A man came down the stairs, holding a toddler in his arms.
"Did Bill wake up from his nap?" Molly asked taking the toddler from Arthur.
"Hello Arthur, it's good to see you again." Dad said.
"Mr. White! How is it in the muggle world?" Arthur asked as he shakes Dad's hand.
"Good. Thanks for letting us stay here."
"It's no problem. Now, why don't we give you some food. Molly said. We walked into the kitchen and I see a boy about my age with red hair, green eyes, and freckles.
"Charles, meet Mr. White and his daughters, Sunshine and Hopeful." Moll said.
Please, call me Sunny." I said with a smile. He looks really, really, really cute.
"Nice to meet you." he said with a slight blush.
'I hope that blush is for me.' I thought.
"Chuck, can you take Sunny and Hope to their room?" Arthur asked.
"Sure. This way." He lead us through a door and into the hallway.
"Soooooo, you're going to Hogwarts too?" I asked.
"Yeah, you guys from America?" he asked.
"Can you tell from my accent?" I asked jokingly.
"Yeah, nice accent by the way." He said.
"You too." I said, smiling and blushing slightly. We went up to a door and Charles opened the door.
"You can unpack if you want." He said. He left the room and closed the door.
"Way cuter then Marc Riley." I said.
"What?" Hope asked.
"I said that out loud, didn't I?" I asked.
"Yup, but you do have a point, he is cute." She replied.
"I call dibs!" I shouted quickly. She laughed.
"You can have him." After that, we both stopped talking. We just unpacked some of our stuff, then went down for dinner.

The day we leave for Hogwarts

"I can't believe we're going to Hogwarts." I said as we went into Kings Cross.
"Remember to write, that's why we got you an owl." Dad said as he hugged us both.
"We'll miss you Daddy." Hope told Dad.
"Tell Mom that we love her." I said. He smiled.
"Don't tell your mother I said this, but, cause some havoc while your there." He said.
"You can trust me in not telling Mom, but I won't cause trouble." Hope said.
"I will, Daddy. We have to go, we'll miss the train." I said. We gave him one last peck on the cheek, and then went through the wall.
"That is so cool!" I said. We made our way through the crowd, and then got on the train.
"Okay, the only way we meet new friends, is to split up. I take the right, you take the left, okay?" I said.
"Kay." We split and went our separate ways. I tried to find a not so full compartment. After what felt like forever, I finally found one. I opened the door, and found four boys in there.
"Hey, can I be in here, everywhere else is full." I asked.
"Sure, I'm Remus, Remus Lupin." A sandy haired boy said.
"Sunshine White. But I like to be called Sunny." I said.
"Sirius Black." One of the black haired boys said.
"James Potter." The other one with glasses said.
"Peter Pettigrew." The mousey looking boy said.
"First year?" I asked. They all nodded.
"Me to, I want to be in Gryffindor like my brother." I said.
"Me too." James said.
"I want to give my mother a heart attack, so I would like to be in Gryffindor." Sirius said with a smirk.
"I like you." I said laughing.
"Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Remus said.
"I don't know." Peter said.
"That sucks; my sister has the same problem." I said.
"You have a sister?" James asked.
"Yeah, I have a twin. If you see someone that looks like me and wearing a skirt, that's my sister, Hopeful." I said.
"Cool, I have a little brother." James said.
"Me too, mines a brat though." Sirius said.
"Aren't they all?" I asked jokingly.
"Yes." They both say in a serious voice.
"Wow, you do that even better then me and Hope." I said. I looked out and saw that we were almost there.
"I'm gonna get dressed." I said as I stand up, looking through my trunk for my uniform.
"See you later." I open the door to see Hope and some other girl I didn't know.
"Hey, Ray, I want you to meet Lily Evans." She pointed to her new friend.
"Hi Lily, I'm Hope's twin, as you can see. The names Sunshine, friends call me Sunny." I said.
"Hi, come on, let's go get change." She said. We walked into the dressing room, got changed, then we went back into my compartment to get my stuff.
"Hey boys. This is my sister, Hopeful, and her friend, Lily." I said as I went to go get my stuff. I looked up to see James and Sirius look at them as if they were goddess.
"Excuse us ladies, but can we talk to Sunny real quickly." Sirius said. They looked at each other and shrugged, then went through the door.
"Why didn't you tell me your sister's a babe?" Sirius asked after they left.
"I look just like her, you dolt." I said.
"I think I'm in love." We all looked at James to see that he still has the face.
"James? You okay?" I went over to him, and then slapped him.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"You were looking dumber then you looked." I said.
"Now come on, let's get going." I said. We got off the train, and went to the boats. Since the boats can only hold four people, I went with Hope, Lily, and Lily's friend, Severus.
When we got to the castle, I was awestruck.
"Cool." Hope said
"Yeah, it looks beautiful." Lily said.
"Ditto." I whispered.
We got off the boats, and went into the castle. When we got too the Door that leads to the Great Hall, we saw a stern lady.
'Must be McGonagall.' I thought.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule breaking and you will loose points. At the end of the year, the houses with the most
points is awarded the house cup." She said. Because I don't want to talk about the Sorting Ceremony, I'll just say where I and the people that I know went to. I got Gryffindor, Hope got the same, so did Peter, James, Remus, Sirius, and Lily. Severus got into Slytherin.
