Russelgurl- Thancks for your viws on this story it helped me a lot. Just to let you know i've re-read Five weeks as a muggle and am half way through the sequal. Thanks again... and this is about to change from the 'usual' amnesia story...

Arachnasloom - Well Ginny and Harry would be in the past tence though wouldn't it?

Ethan Feld – Thank you! You at least get it! It was to good know someone got their reactions after the "I thought that everybody would embrace Janey at once and call her "Ginny"" review that I got. Which apart from being polite disheartened me slightly and you definitely hit the nail on the head with your review. So thanks!

Lizzy Weasley – Don't worry you didn't insult me, I took your criticism on board and all though I was very aware what I had done I have now placed explanations for each of the characters reactions to 'Janey.' I'm actually glad 'you thought' that everyone would think it was Ginny 'coz now you get to be surprised by the story, which I always like. And remember Ginny ISN'T missing she's dead.

IzzyG – sorry about getting your name wrong I get confused between you and Lizzy Weasley up there.

O WOW! I completly forgot about this post! i've had this FOREVER... im so sorry so i'll justlet you read it already...

Overall apology

I re-read the last chapter and realised I didn't check it in the slightest so I'm really sorry if you noticed some mistakes but the plot did what I wanted it to do so I won't be pulling it of I'll just have to be more careful in the future.

Chapter 3 – 'Who is Anastasia?'

"Do you really think--?"

"Why else would she possibly?" Hermione countered, while setting four places at the dinner table.

"We don't even know how they met, and she must of made quiet an impression on him, he's been so down recently and when we saw that letter I thought that he was really gonna do it that time but after a day with her he seems like his old self again." Her husband, Ron Weasley said, honestly, carrying a pot in from the kitchen. Hermione opened her mouth to argue but closed it again, six years of friendship may not have taught her not to argue with him but three years of being his girlfriend and another three of being his wife had.

"So what did you make?" She asked, cooking never really have being her thing,

"It's Lentil Soup, but I didn't make it, Mum did, seemed to think it was safer," He laughed, "Wonder how it tastes," he added making to lift the lid off the pot,

"Don't you dare!" His wife snarled, whilst whipping her wand causing a plate of hot buttered rolls to appear. But even as Ron's hand snaked towards these the doorbell rang.

"They're here!" Hermione squealed running to the door and opening it.

Framed in the doorway were Harry and Janey, Ron took a double take each time he looked at them together, as though he was looking at his dead sister again. But he knew she was gone, they had all seen. There was no chance.

"I didn't know what to bring, so I just zapped up something," She smiled, brandishing an apple pie,

"You bake?" said Hermione,

"Only apple pie, honestly it's the only thing I remember the spell for," she answered, making Hermione blink several times,

"You're a witch then?" she said, her voice was a little more accusatory then the revelation really granted.

Deciding that the conversation was becoming a little too heated Ron suggested that they go into the dining room. This had the requested effect because the minuet that they sat down the atmosphere was quite easy once more.

"So Janey, how did you and Harry meet?" It was a fair question, but everyone at the table knew it was more an evaluation. Ron held his breath; Hermione did not like to be wrong, and her first impressions of Janey, well…

"We just crossed paths," She shrugged, not knowing whether Harry wanted her to divulge,

"How so?" Hermione prodded, though Harry answered her this time.

"Well she talked me out of suicide, the usual." Hermione and Ron's spoons fell from their hands, and in Ron's case spattered him with soup, though both ignored this.

"So you did try and kill yourself yesterday?" Ron asked horror struck. Harry nodded solemnly.

"I saw you two just before hand actually, I was walking down the street, and saw you with Penny…" but Hermione cut across Janey's attempt at idle conversation.

"Why do you do this to yourself Harry?"

Janey rolled her eyes but Hermione did not see this as she was focusing her attention on Harry, it was obvious to her at least that Harry did not want to discuss this.

"I don't really want to talk about it now Hermione," he answered uncomfortably. Thought so! Sang Janey's mind.

"If you don't talk about it with us who will you talk to it about? Harry being suicidal isn't funny."

Janey's inpatients grew; this Hermione obviously didn't understand how Harry felt. Though she knew that she wanted to help her friend it seemed her need for answers may soon over way this.

"He wasn't cracking jokes on top of that building." She said finally.

"Excuse me?"

"You just accused him of thinking suicide's funny, but he looked pretty serious about it yesterday, took one step towards it actually." She stated calmly, Hermione was gaping at her.

Thinking that perhaps a change of conversation was in order, Ron cleared his throat and asked Janey how she came to be in London.

"Oh that's a long story." She said waving her hand, and catching Harry's eye.

"We've got a long time." Grimaced Hermione. Janey smiled back, perhaps a little more forcefully than usual.

"I'll tell you what I'll give you the clip-notes version; I lost my memory, ended up in a part of Scotland, lived up their for five years, then came down to London to try and jog my memory." She smiled falsely. When Ron and Hermione continued to goggle at her she excused herself to go to the bathroom.

"Harry! Don't tell me you've fallen for it again, It's Romilda Vane all over!" Hermione shrieked, "Honestly, do you believe her? Of course not, maybe she's a little more calculated than Romilda—"

"I should hope so, and I quote "Harry! Oh Harry! Is that you? Guess what You-know-who didn't kill me, I got away…" but Hermione this is nothing like that." When Hermione made her scoffing noise he continued, "Janey isn't claiming to be Ginny. And I know she's not. And yes I believe her story," Hermione had opened her mouth, "And you're acting as though I've signed my fortune over to her, I just want to help her try and get her memory back, she saved me yesterday, so now I want to help her."

But Hermione Weasley was not one to sympathise with a sob story. "Harry I know you haven't done the whole 'saving people' thing in a while…" She said in, what must have been intended to be, sympathy "But you're rich and famous, and girls want that lifestyle, we've seen it before, girls changing their appearance, it's the Anastasia effect. Just think about it; Janey is a witch which means –with a working memory - she'd know all about you and your story, she looks remarkably like Ginny and even sounds like her, she claims to be from Scotland but has no sign of an accent, and lastly she brought apple pie, which is—" for the first time Hermione faltered, she adopted a softer tone for her last point "is what Ginny brought to the picnic. So there are three options: either she is lying, or she is telling the truth, or she is Ginny. Which do you choose?"

"I choose to trust her." Said Harry finally. Silence fell upon the trio. The door creaked open and Janey popped her head in,

"Who's Anastasia?" She asked conversationally,

"What?" said Hermione evidently horror struck,

"Well I heard all of what you just said, and believing in consequence, I chose to ask – who is Anastasia?"

So SURPRISE everyone doesn't think it's her! Even Janey doesn't think it's her, 'coz like she's DEAD. Seriously Ginny is dead. That is the twist in this story, Ginny is no more, she ceases to be, etc you get were I'm going. The point of the story is and always was how Voldermort met his demise and Ginny died. Janey as a character is but a way of looking at the story in an outside point of view. And the reason she looks exactly like Ginny and has so many similarities as her is… I'm twisted and it's yet another way to watch them SQUIRM!

Now I know I'm weird and your all disappointed about the fact this story didn't go the way you wanted it too but it will be interesting (or at least I think so) so stick around.
