A/N:I just worked a 10 hour shift and I'm wrecked!

FORGOTTEN update...baby names, and somewhere fun...

Thanks to my reviewers..

KrazieChikadee- you know, I thought I'd just leave it up in the air about what Emily remembers. She's not really sure herself what she remembers, heard from George or just made up. Maybe somewhere in her pretty little head there is a memory of the name Minerva. I thought it was quite fitting that she would like the name though- esp since Minnie actually is a cute nickname! Hope you like the resolve to the cliffhanger!

nehimasgift- aw, such a nice review. I hope you'll like where George takes her...

Hermione Granger Fanatic- I'm so glad you liked the chapter! I hope you like this one too.KrazieChikadee- sorry you didn't like the end of the chapter, you'll hate me even more now!

LunaLovegoss- George is cute! I thought it would be very in character for Ron to just eat whatever- even though he should know better!

Little mimi- were you really laughing?

"Wow George…" Emily breathed. "It's amazing!"

"I was hoping you would like it."

"Is it a wizarding fair?"

"Yeh. Has all the fabulous commodities of a muggle fair but with a little extra magic." George winked. "Let's go explore."

The couple walked hand in hand through the busy fairground. They walked past stands with wand duelling, Divination experts, "Quidditch trials" where you could try everything from throwing the quaffle and trying to score a goal to trying your hand at catching the golden snitch!

"Wow, did you see that guy just did a Wronski Feint? I haven't seen that since…"

"Since Harry."

"You remember that?"

"Yeah I do. I was so scared he wasn't going to pull up in time."

"You've been holding out on me- what else do you remember?"

"Just little things. Hogwarts- the library, the Great Hall- and a few traumatic events."

"When'd you start to remember this? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It just hasn't come up. I've been having dreams- so many of them about my past."

"You remember being Hermione?'

"Vaguely. I remember snippets of a past I don't feel I ever lived. I'm not ready to be a completely different person."

"You'll always be Emily though- you're still Hermione now even if you don't know it. The way you bite your bottom lip or the fact that you love books and then there's the fact that you're so smart!"

"I'm not that smart George- you're smart."

"But I prefer people to believe I'm not- or they'll want me to live up to my full potential."

"Anything to get out of doing work."

"Of course." George smiled before grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the Ferris wheel.

"George. I'm scared of heights."

"There's no need to be scared. I'm right here with you. Anyway, there's a whole pile of Silver Arrows over there that I'd gladly ride to save you."

"Glad to see I'm so high in list of priorities."

"Saving you would be top priority, but it won't come to that. You'll be fine with me." George said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

"Okay." Emily said whilst biting her bottom lip.

Moments later they were high up in the sky looking down on the tiny people- at least George was looking, Emily had her eyes screwed up tight.

"Come on Emily, you're missing the show."

"I don't care- I'm not looking. You can't make me."

"Fine, if you aren't going to look, at least let me make this more enjoyable for you." George said as he wrapped his arm tighter around her shoulders and gently prised her fingers off the bar. She cuddled into his welcoming embrace, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Now all you have to do is imagine we're at home sitting on the couch."

"I'll try."

Once they were safely on the ground Emily stumbled off the ride, only remaining upright thanks to George.

"I had no idea you were so scared. I'm sorry- I wouldn't have made you go up there if I'd known."

"It's okay. It's over now." Emily said as her breathing calmed. "That's the first time I've ever been so high and actually opened my eyes."

"You opened your eyes?"

"Yeah- but all I saw was that stain on your shirt."

George blushed.

"How about we go on a fun ride- no heights I promise."

"Why do I have the feeling this ride is still going to scare me?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

They ran through the crowds until they stood in front of waltzers.

"Oh I remember those." Emily smiled.

"From when exactly?"

"When I was a kid- at a muggle fair."

"You remember more stuff from when you were a kid?"

"It's just a vague feeling of déjà vu. But I do remember throwing up after being on one of those."

"It's fine as long as you haven't eaten anything recently. Are you willing to give a whirl?"

Sitting together in the large cauldron like seats Emily could feel butterflies gather in her stomach. The excitement of reliving something that felt like it had never really happened coupled with being so close to George made her feel like bouncing right out of her seat.

The ride slowly began to move and soon enough the excitement gurgled to her throat and she giggled as they twirled. Her head went light as she saw the many colours of her surrounding blur into a murky brown.

George grinned as Emily leaned into him as the ride spun faster and faster. He risked moving his hand to grasp hers and she smiled up at him, her face swaying slightly. When the ride finally stopped George easily stepped out, not affected by the spinning after many years of experiments involving twirling in the back garden. Emily was not quite so graceful as she fell out of the car into George's arms.

"Thanks." She said weakly.

"It's ok. How about we go practice walking in a straight line?" George grinned.

Once again walking hand in hand they strolled along through the busy crowd towards a fenced area with many animals.

"Do you see it, do you see it?" George said excitedly.

"See what?"

"The mini hippogriff!"

"They have a mini hippogriff?"

"How else do you think I found out about this place? They came in the other day and bought one- and gave me some free tickets." George smiled.

"Don't you think it's a bit cruel keeping it in such a noisy and busy atmosphere?"

"Emily, look at it. It has wings. It could fly all the way home if it wanted, but it likes it here- they like all the attention. If it makes you feel better though I'll donate a second so that it won't get lonely. Now let's go find some food- I'm starving!"

"When are you not?"

"When I'm asleep."

George and Emily walked along to a small stand that was serving butterbeer and crepes. They ate as they walked around watching the outskirts of the fair, watching the people laugh and cheer as they were entertained.

"You know the other night, at Ginny's? What was it that upset you?" George asked when they found a quiet place to stop.

"Just a picture."

"Of…"

"Of Harry, Ron and me…"

"The one where it's snowing?"

"Yeah, that one. I've never seen myself when I was that young."

"I don't think I'd remember what I looked like then if it weren't for pictures either. How are you feeling about it now?"

"Okay I guess. I haven't really been thinking about it. It's just really frustrating knowing that there's a different person inside me- one that has memories of her childhood and her school and her friends. I have knowledge of them and slowly I'm getting little snippets of my past, but I still don't know enough."

"I hope it all comes Emily, I really do. In the meantime, I'm loving getting to know you. I didn't really know you before because you were Ron's friend, not mine."

"Did you want to be friends with me?"

"Of course I did. I knew you were so smart- you got Harry and Ron out of trouble enough. I could have used that help." George grinned. "I always had great respect for you cause you put up with all Ron did. Sure you shouted your pretty little head off at him, but you didn't fight back- well except for the time with Lavender, but I would have done worse I expect. You were also growing into a pretty, intelligent woman who is loyal, kind and fun to be around."

"Thanks George. I think I'm glad all this happened to me cause I would hate to have overlooked you."

"I'm sure I would have done something to get your attention."

"I'm sure you would. Possibly a prank that made me seek revenge."

"I wouldn't prank you. Well not until I'd secured a few dates."

"Should I be getting worried?"

"Nope. Now it's more than a few dates I want secured. I don't want to lose you."

"I don't think it's very likely to happen." Emily said as snuggled into his chest.

"That's really good to know." George said before once again kissing the top of her head.
