Lies and Smiles by dazedkitten (Reviews - 16)
Let me tell you a small tale - one that is not about death and mayhem, because those things do not come naturally to me. So, instead, let me tell you a tale with little lies and the twists of the heart. A tale with smiles, kisses and a happy ending.Category: Completed Short Stories

Torn Between Ice and Emeralds by CrystalM (Reviews - 93)
COMPLETED! -- A broken-hearted Ginny Weasley lets go of Harry Potter to let him fight the good fight and starts her sixth year at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy follows Snape back to Death Eater headquarters after Dumbledore's death to even more danger than he had just left, realising too late that he has made his greatest mistake yet. Is anyone likely to forgive him? Finding himself a refugee within the walls he had conspired against, he witnesses a scene that alters his perception of a concept he had previously found to be a waste of time: Love. This change allows him to grow away from the model Death Eater his father had been sculpting him into in an effort to find out what he really believes in with the help of his new friendship found in the youngest Weasley. Meanwhile, Ginny struggles with her harboured feelings for the man destined to save the Wizarding world, unknowingly losing her affections with every passing day to his childhood enemy. Please leave me a review!Category: Long and Completed

Date: Aug 11, 2008 Title: Chapter 17: Neither Can Live While the Other Survives
What I enjoy the most about this story is that you really took your idea and made it completely realistic (well as realistic as HP can be). Your Harry was true to Harry form, he wasn't the arse that most authors choose to portray him as. I am so torn because I feel awful for them with their loss of Harry but happy for Ginny that she still has Draco. Great story, I am really glad you advertised this fic otherwise I would have never stumbled upon this jem.
Author's Response: I\'m really glad you think that it\'s \"HP world\" realistic. I like the characters as is from canon, so I wanted to build off of that. Even Draco\'s still in character, at least through HBP. I just love that he\'s secretly broken inside, and we didn\'t see enough of that in the books! Harry being a jerk makes it too easy for readers to want to see Ginny with him, not enough drama! Thank you so much! :-D
Date: Aug 05, 2008 Title: Chapter 16: A Common Enemy
So this is getting very good! I am curious to see how you are going to weave the details of DH with your story. Can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: I like getting to steal ideas while creating my own story, it\'s so fun!
Author's Response: I like getting to steal ideas while creating my own story, it\'s so fun!
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 14: The Beginning of the End
Oh man you are weaving all this so effortlessly! I love it!!!
Author's Response: So glad you think so! :-)
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 15: Behind Glassy Emeralds Lays a Broken Heart
I really liked this chatper. It was hard to hate Harry because you portrayed him much like how he is in the book. You feel bad for him as well as feel his hurt, but at the same time you are happy she's staying with Draco. :) Bravo!
Author's Response: I really want the readers to feel for both Draco and Harry, since it\'s not a fair situation for either or them if they\'re the one broken-hearted. It was sad for me as well because I do like the H/G ship as well, but not in this story! :-) Thank you soooo much for reviewing each chapter and leaving a reply on the beta forum! I appreciate it so much! Hope to see future reviews!
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 12: Wintry Dances and Whispered Confessions
Oooooh this is good, Draco's walls are all but gone and yet Ginny isn't ready to let go of Harry.
Author's Response: She\'s breaking them down! But there are those lingering feelings to be dealt with...
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 10: The Mark Revealed
Beautiful first kiss moment - even if it was in the hospital wing! ;)
Author's Response: Of course someone had to be wrapped up in bandages! Thank you!
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 9: A Fear Impartial to Purity of Blood
I love the tenderness that you gave Draco in this chapter. I am also relieved that Ginny is ok.
Author's Response: I definitely see him as a very loyal person that, once he finally figures out that she\'s very special to him, will do anything to protect her, not to mention be very gentle with her. :-)
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Dying Prejudice
Ahhhh I like this, Ginny is now honestly torn between the man she loved (and still does) and the man she is starting to love. You also made a great debate with those two, I've never heard it spelled out so simply; you don't choose the magic, the magic chooses you.
Author's Response: When I started their debate, I wasn\'t sure how I was going to argue Draco\'s side. Magic choosing you did seem very simple, and he couldn\'t seem to argue with it since he really didn\'t believe in the whole \'Mudbloods stole their magic\' bit.
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 7: Another Door Shut
It must be hard for Draco to live under the condition which he is.
Author's Response: It\'s hard for him to see Pansy still under the spell too.
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 6: Secret Needs
If there could have been another avenue for the DH then this would have been the one I would choose. It explores paths which I am sure everyone has thought about. Loving it!
Author's Response: Definitely. I was sooo sad that Draco wasn\'t redeemed in DH with some sort of heroic act, that he didn\'t reveal a little more of his deep anguish that we only saw a glimpse of in HBP, but then he was back to being a self-preserving jerk in DH. So sad.
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 4: Fire Meets Ice
Can't wait to see what happens next!
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: No Longer the Enemy
I like how you are portraying Ginny, based off of HBP she of course is still pining for Harry. Can't wait to see how her and Draco's relationship evolve.
Author's Response: She was a bit weepier when I first wrote her, but I revised her a bit. Ginny Weasley should be a spitfire, but she has her soft spots. :-) Probably why I don\'t like her in the movies, they never give her lines, and they make her so plain.
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 2: Intrusion on a Family Moment
Very nice, I like how you are seamlessly using the events of HBP in this story.
Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted to keep it as close as possible to canon after HBP because I liked Draco\'s part until that! He was just starting to exonerate himself, or at least we were seeing some change in him, and then nothing in DH! Bah!
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: Confessions of a Traitor
I honestly beleive you got McGonagall down to a "T". I totally had her voice in my head as she started laying it out for Draco.
Author's Response: Awesome. My beta helped a lot to make sure McGonagall sounded right, several emails back and forth, haha.
Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: The Beginning of Regret
I read the snippet of this on the FIA forum and I have to say I am not disappointed. I will be proceeding directly to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Yay!! I\'m so glad that posting on the forums led to a reader! :-)
Date: Sep 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 18: As Seen Through Greasy Curtains
I cannot reiderate enough on why I am so happy I stumbled upon this story. I love how you intertwine the books with your own version of things. I like how you kept Harry alive, makes me feel happier knowing he's still around. I can't wait to see what the conclusion of your story will bring. Fantastic job!
Author's Response: I always love hearing from you because you always have such wonderful things to say! :-) I feel a little like a copycat of Jo since I made it look like Harry died, but then he didn\'t, hehe, but I guess the point of fanfiction is to copy all of her crazy imagination!
Date: Sep 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 19: Tears and Victory
It looks like they all have a long road ahead of them. I am glad Ginny was stand up about her love for Draco though...I could totally see myself marrying him too!
Author's Response: It will definitely take awhile for things to be normal. He\'s really turned into a guy we can all love, hasn\'t he? :-)
Date: Sep 26, 2008 Title: Chapter 20: A New Start
Bravo! I am sad to see this story end but also happy to see Draco and Ginny live happily ever after. This story is by far one of the best D/G stories I've read in a while. I have to admit when I saw it on the updates the title didn't catch me and I ended up discovering this jem later on. Thank you for a great D/G journey and I can't wait to read more of your work.
Author's Response: As always, a pleasure! I appreciate all of your support and I\'m glad you liked it so much! Thank you! :-)
