About me:

Hi, I'm Jan. :D I love Snape and Harry fics, and just mentor fics in general. I first started Potions and Snitches (P&S) as a safe place to find Snape & Harry gen fics without stumbling into Snape and Harry slash (aka Snarry, or HP/SS).

Fandoms that I like to read fanfiction of include: Star Trek, Star Wars, Kung Fu : The Legend Continues, Dragonball Z, Stargate SG1, Batman, Angel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I like Gen and Mentor fics mostly. I love hurt/comfort, angst, whump, drama, raw emotions, and vivid descriptions best.

I know how to make and edit graphics, icons, and layouts (html and css). I am a master web searcher. XD

My dreams? One day I'd like to be able to run up a mountain effortlessly, or at least easily. :) I'd like to see Potions and Snitches host every single good Snape and Harry Gen fic there ever existed. I'd like to have people who post here get 100 reviews a chapter. I'd like active-to-the-bursting challenges and contests. I want the site to be a great, fun place that readers of Snape and Harry fics loved and knew as active.

Check out my site, Potions, Snitches and Unlikely Relations! It's a giant rec list of Harry Potter fics, the majority Snape and Harry Gen. Currently, there are 800+ fics listed.

Thanks for visiting my profile! Enjoy the site!

Prompts by Jan_AQ
Summary: When Harry wished his hair back it wasn't magic. Well, it was, but it wasn't Harry's...
[Report This]
Summary: The fateful night that killed Harry's parents did more than that, it took away his ability to do magic. No one finds out until he is already at Hogwarts. How will this affect the Boy Who Lived? How does this affect the way Snape treats him? Should he protect the boy or give him to Voldemort?
[Report This]
Summary: Harry is captured and tortured... by Snape. Or alternately, Snape is captured and tortured by Harry.
[Report This]
Summary: Snape is a Mad Scientist. What does this mean, and what does he do to Harry Potter?
[Report This]
Summary: Harry is left on Snape's doorstep.
[Report This]
Summary: Harry Potter decides that he will go to Hogwarts for his 7th and final year at Hogwarts. He is shocked to discover that Severus Snape is Headmaster. Will he stay?
[Report This]
Summary: Every time Harry was sick as a child he found himself suddenly appearing somewhere else, somewhere magic where a man could heal and take care of him until he was better. Then he would appear back in his cupboard, like magic.
[Report This]
Summary: Unknown to the Dursley's when Harry Potter was delivered to their home someone switched Dudley Dursley and Harry Potter's appearances and identities to protect The Boy Who Lived. In consequence, the "Freak" who lives under the cupboard is in reality Dudley Dursley, and "Sweetums" is Harry Potter. Upon Harry's 11th birthday, the two are switched back and "Dudley" Potter is sent to Hogwarts where a Severus Snape is happy to correct any problems "Dudley" has.

How would Harry Potter react to being pampered while his cousin is forced to do chores. Would he be spoiled? A bully? Is Harry the one who is overweight now? Will his "parents" accept him once they realize he is not who he has been pretending to be? Or will he be suddenly forced to do all the chores "Harry Potter" was forced to do? What house will he end up in?

Summary: When Umbridge takes over Hogwarts halfway through the year, she decrees that all students, not just first years, need to be resorted every year. This time Harry isn't able to convince the Sorting Hat this year to keep him in Gryffindor. What house does he end up in, and how does this change... everything? Does anyone else switch houses? What is Snape's reaction to all of this? Does he support the idea? Are his motives to help? Or to harm?
[Report This]
Summary: Somehow Harry is cursed with a powerful bad luck curse. It starts to be apparent while at Hogwarts, getting progressively worse until it is clearly a curse and Harry is unable to cope with the effects. Something as simple as walking down the stairs can now be life threatening, and Harry finds himself either injured or in terrible circumstances almost daily.

How can Harry and his teachers deal with a string of bad luck as strong as a curse? Should he have a special protector watching his every move? Should he leave Hogwarts? Is he a risk to his friends? The other students? Teachers? Owls? If it keeps getting worse, how will he survive? This is sure to test Snape's resolve and vow to safeguard Harry Potter. How can they break it?

The Bad luck curse may be a genetic inheritance, or something that Harry was cursed with, or gave himself by accident due to his curiosity. In any case, Snape must be there to help him. This may take place in or out of Hogwarts, any year.

The idea of a Bad luck curse can be used independently of the challenge.
