My pen name started with just 'bird' and I added 'of pray' on there for no reason. I am aware 'pray' is spelled wrong, by the way. Bird comes from my old fashioned music taste. If you know Jazz, GOOD Jazz, you know Bird. Otherwise known as Charlie Parker. If you say you know Jazz, but don't know him, you don't know ANYTHING about Jazz!

I also have another pen name on the site, (anyone want to guess what it is?) and created this one because I wanted to start anew. I want to try and write angst, or at least a bit angsty, fics, and felt that I couldn't do that on my old account. Also, my old fics, were, cringe-worthy to say the least, and I want to start fresh.

Currently working on 'Hair Like Fire.' Angsty, but believe it or not, WILL have a happy ending. Though I'm not sure how far away that is at the moment. Will feature adult themes. Don't expect frequent updates.

Secrets and Shadows by Thalia    (Reviews - 17)

Heaven knew when he could see her again. But there was too much danger, and with the war-torn world, there could only be coded letters delivered by others, and hope for a better future. DG with minor ships.

Ooh, do I sense some foreshadowing? Well to tell the truth, I'm a bit confused. Because in the earlier chapters, you talked about how Draco couldn't wait to get back to Ginny, and vice versa. But now you make it sound like Draco dropped her or something. I think you just mean that she thought it would last forever, but it couldn't because he had to leave during the war. But very good, so sweet! I loved how you got them together, very original!

Crossing into Chaos by Emeral_eyes    (Reviews - 512)

*Completely AU* In a world where Voldemort was never defeated, only a few things matter: pureblood, money and power. All that Ginny Weasley wanted was to survive her 7 years at Hogwarts, a school where the children of the richest and most powerful wizards dominate over others. Denying her natural instincts, she managed to make it into her 6th year without offending any of the cruel and powerful Slytherins - especially that horrible Draco Malfoy. Until one day, she crosses a line, and her peaceful existence is shattered forever. A story filled with adolescent drama, clash of the classes, angst, jealousy, ridiculous pride and love triangles (and squares).

Yay! The cracked-out ficcage is on the site! Does this mean we get updates sooner? Heh . . .

Author's Response: Sure does! It means that I\'ve decided to stick to writing the story, and let the plot bunnies run wild, and thus, will be writing tons of cracked-out ficcage!

Dude, you're so evil.

I so wasn't expecting to see the new chapter when I got onto DG.com. I spilled my drink when I saw the chapter! Lol.

Standing outside, in a dark street in the dodgy end of town with bloody Draco Malfoy, and I actually felt safe

I loved that part. Because it so shows that she loves him. Well, maybe not loves him. But she likes him. At least.

And I loved how you did the whole 'elevator' thing. And how you showed how adorable Draco is, when he remembered who her favorite quidditch team was. And then when they were in the broom closet, and he grabbed her hand to comfort her. That was some major squee-age.

And I'm so excited now because relatively soon (Or not, depending on how many chapters do you per episode, lol) is the part where he has to go save her from the evil girl! And when he confesses he loves her! And please, tell me that they're actually going to kiss in your story. Because in HYD, after he saves her, and he just hugs her, and they don't do anything, and she doesn't say ANYTHING, that always bugged me. I mean, they're at least going to kiss, right? And Draco's still going to say that he loves her right?

Because those are the MOST IMPORTANT parts of those scenes!

I had this whole long review with all these thoughtful comments planned out.

But as soon as I read 'Because I'm in love with you, silly girl' they disappeared.

And believe me, it's all I can do right now to repress my wild inarticulate screams of giddiness at the absolute awesomeness that was the last half of this chapter.

If you look back at your LJ, I'm sure there's a post on there after I finished ISWAK. And it's probably utterly unreadable and contains a lot of 'AHHH!!' and 'OMG!!!!!'. But anyways. Imagine that, and that's basically what I am right now.

(And, have I told you yet how much I love all the extra kissing you put in here?)

Author's Response: I debated not putting in the declaration. Seriously, I did. But then I realized that if I didn\'t, you\'d murder me. And your scary reaction to the end of ISWAK reminded me of how very dangerous that might be, and how much fun putting it in WOULD be, especially if if could illicit the same reaction.
