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!

Chocolate frogs!

Healthy Eating and Exercise is Key by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 2]
Summary: The food and sweets at Hogwarts are plentiful, too plentiful in fact. What happens when Madame Poppy notices that the children are becoming too plump?

Ideas:
  • Dumbledore requires the teachers to set an example for the students.
  • Snape becomes one of the new physical education teachers.
  • All of Hogwarts is put on a diet, Snape and Harry both sneak into the kitchens at the same time for food/sweets.
  • The teachers and students are put into support groups, depending on what their needs are (overweight, underweight, too much exercise, too little exercise, unbalanced eating). What group are Harry and Severus placed into?
  • The Ministry gets involved. Perhaps someone like Umbridge will be the new Health overseer at Hogwarts.
  • Will Dumbledore have to give up his lemon drops and switch them to something healthier?

Shrunk Harry by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 1]
Summary: Harry is shrunk, literally. Think Thumbelina or Tom Thumb. How did it happen? Doesn't matter as long as Snape keeps him.
    Extra points if you work in references of Tom Thumb's mischievous, accident-prone adventures.

Orphaned Cousins by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Harry's Aunt and Uncle die, leaving both himself and his cousin Dudley without any guardians. They experience some sort of temporary living arrangement, such as Muggle or ministry custody, brief foster parents, or living on their own before finally ending up in the custody of Severus Snape. How much of a struggle was it to get both of them and how did he do it? Do they want to go?

Does this experience help Harry and Dudley bond, or do they hate each other even more after Petunia and Vernon's deaths? How does Dudley take being in the magical world?
    Extra points to pick from:
  • Both Dudley and Harry experience an abusive environment together.
  • Someone runs away (Doesn't have to be Harry or Dudley).
  • One of the boys gets in trouble with the Muggle authorities.
  • Dudley stands up for someone being physically bullied.
  • Ron Weasley turns one of the boys in when they do something wrong.
  • Dudley is thought to be crazy when he mentions Magic to Muggles.
  • Dudley tries to do Magic.
  • Harry finds out that he is allergic to something.

[Responses - 0]
Summary: When Lily and James Potter died, a custody battle ensued between Snape and Sirius over one young Harry Potter. Why does Severus want Harry? How could he convince everyone that he is a better father than Sirius? Sirius, obviously, will not be sent to Azkaban the night of the Potters' death.

Jealous of Remus by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Remus has become a trusted mentor to Harry during Harry's third year, teaching Harry the Patronus charm and telling him about his parents. Severus Snape is either jealous of the relationship, or angry about it and worried about Harry's safety. Perhaps both. What is he going to do about it? Punish them, or try to lure Harry away? How far will he go?

Saved from Sirius by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 0]
Summary: For whatever reason Snape saves Harry from his Godfather, Sirius Black.

Ideas:
  • Sirius allows Harry to do something dangerous, and Harry doesn't (or wouldn't) make it out alive this time
  • Sirius does something illegal in public while Harry is with him (can be Muggle or Wizarding world)
  • Sirius wants to keep Harry away from Hogwarts for whatever reason
  • Sirius wants to train Harry, and it gets out of hand
  • Sirius has a flashback, and not understanding it, Harry gets in the way
  • Sirius looses control of his emotions, and hurts Harry
  • Giving some bad advice
  • Giving himself away to the Ministry, Umbridge, ect. which gets Harry into trouble he can't get out of
  • Taking Harry to a hideout, only to have Harry become ill, or hurt because of the area
  • Sirius does something immature or accidental, and Harry may pay the consequences i.e.:
    • accidentally locking Harry out of the house
    • loosing track of Harry at a bar when he got drunk
    • allowing Harry to overdose on something for "fun"
    • having Harry around Remus during the full moon, forgetting that Harry isn't an animagus
  • Anything else you can come up with!
