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!

After mistakenly flooing himself to Snape's home the summer after Sirius' death, Harry realizes that his potions master can take matters into his own hands, literally. Warning: This story does involve the spanking of teenagers. If you have a problem with this, do not read and do not review. Any criticisms about CP will be ignored. But I love any other feedback!

    Oh my gosh! LOL! Fantastic: "And the first thing he saw was the silver toothbrush floating in the toilet." Tehehe. This freaking rocks. "They had all been so peaceful and happy, going about the summer and doing their own thing, and then the drama queen arrived." Yeah, Potter you're one to talk. You're the one that blew up the lab- gah. Peaceful, indeed. :)

    Di you mean to use pice here, or prince? "...but in a manor with a grouchy potions master and an obnoxious little price."

    I LOVED this part: “If you have something to say, then say it!” Draco snapped. “All right,” Harry stood up, realizing that he wasn’t going to get a moment’s peace until he said something, “you should try this book. It’s a pretty good read.” Muah ha ha!!! Best line ever. Good job Harry! You're getting a backbone of the right sort. I was a little surprised about what Draco said. It seemed like he was doing a good job hurting Harry with his words, giving as good as he (didn't) get, but Harry was able to just ignore him. I feel proud of Harry, but I'm also surprised. Could Snape be influencing him this much for the good?

    I have to agree with Snape, Draco should be kicked out. I wonder if the potions messed with Harry's brain, or maybe his reasoning skills. Or maybe this is the person he's turning into? In any case, it will be interesting to see the two boys interacting some more.

    If you ever need to post a chapter, just copy it and paste it in the box normally with a Ctrl+V. It should turn out alright. If it looks a little off and has too many spaces, or doesn't have indentations, that's okay. I wander around the latest chapters and edit them if they need to be, so it's no pressure on you. :) Just paste and as long as it's readble, don't worry about it.

    Harry heard he leave five minutes later, tossing the book on the table as he went. him.

    Deeep down, (Deep)

    ...and I told him that at least you wanted me o stay. (to)

    And then we’d all by happy her together. (here)

    Oh, fantastic! I caught that Harry called him father! Apparently Snape did too! Nice job on that!

    I wonder if having Harry in the room would make Draco less forthcoming in his reasons and in talking to Snape about them and how he feels. I really liked SNape conversation to Harry about why he does what he does. it seemed very logical.

    I wonder about Harry... he seems rather out of it.

    “You do not try to harm other people in this house,” LOL that sounds like what I tell my little brother when he has a bear plushie eying a duck plushie, "We do not eat other members of the family." XD

    I think that Snape should spank Draco before bed anyway. He tried to kill Harry. But now we know that he hadn't meant to actually kill him. I'm glad, it doesn't seem so bad now, especially seeing Draco's outcome. I'm so glad that they called a truce though, but I want to see them get into trouble agian. Aw well, maybe they'll get into trouble together next time. I'm glad that Harry started bleeding- it made it seem more dramatic and up to par with what really happened to him. overall I think that you're doing a fantastic job with this story. I'm so happy that you posted, even though you had some difficulties. I'm sorry about that. :( I hope that we can solve them... just e-mail me.

Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26 - Ready, Go! 12 Jan 2007
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)

    Love it! Tehe. I LOVED IT.

    "Without magic, just physical touch, you can learn to hurt someone or heal them." If I were Harry, I would have thought about the Death Eaters and shivered. I really liked how Harry talking and thought about family, women though. I wonder WHY Snape doesn't have a wife.

    What a cheeky Harry you have! He talks back like crazy and just barges into places. Wow, he's fun and very different. I'm really enjoying him. Draco's talk, well I'm glad that it was just talk. you have away to make us and Harry think one thing, but then have it turn completely around and we discover that it's a different situation. Very nicely done.

    "Still, we should be able to do something to the pieces. Like light them on fire." oh my. Just what are they thinking here? Haha. oh man. I didn't think that it would be fun at all, they way they spoke about it, but imagining the flaming ball of fire.. yeah i can see how it could be fun. XD I saw them getting into trouble though- Ha! And I think Snape has quite a bit in store now. I love a scheming Harry and Draco. How fun!

    I really, really appreciated this chapter. It was great! Thanks so much for sharing it and deciding to go ahead and write it.

    Whoooo! Fantastic! I am all smiles. This is exactly the pick me up I needed. Thank you so much!

Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29 - End of a Journey 03 Mar 2007
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Fantastic! :) lovely wrap up. I enjoyed it immensely. This line was GREAT: "He had given him a second chance, a time and place to grow. A chance to heal." Way to put the title in! I loved Snape and Harry's talks, I espeically loved the last thing Snape told him, to remember that he loved him. Woah!

    Great job on this story, and congratulations on finishing it!

    I would be interested in seeing a sequel, but with a different mood. I think that it may be best if the trouble Harry got into were more serious, if he were more serious. Real trouble, and real deep conflict between Snape and Harry, perhaps a sense of betrayal at one point. I think that maybe they should work at becoming closer first, and then have the conflict, and then work towards repairing it.

    Well that's just my thoughts! Thanks for posting! :D

    "...maybe Snape would blink, and Harry could wrap the cape over himself real quick, and Snape would just think he was having a hallucination from teaching dunderheads for so many years."

    How amusingly clever! I love your Harry in this so much.

My take on Chapter 91 of AYLNO. Harry and Draco were kidnapped by Lucius, can they escape his clutches with their lives intact? All is not as it seems...

    Wow, nice little story line! Interesting part about Lucius talking about Draco- how he hadn't changed his name. I haven't been reading AYLNO since like chapter 60 or so, but this was a nice peek into the world again. I was surprised that Draco was really lucious in disguise. Thanks for sharing!

Title: Chapter 1: The Art of Cake Baking 14 Feb 2006
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Hahaha!! Yum. I liked the way cooking was conveyed as a choice, something Harry could control while most other things were not in his control. I liked how Harry invited Snape to join him, and I actually did like how short their little cake eating time was, with little banter. It got down to the point and painted the picture at the end. You have some typos but I was still able to understand everything. Cute story! Harry baking cakes. XD

    Author's Response:

    OMG -- I had typos?! *faints*

     LOL, thanks. Glad you liked. ;)

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)

    GREAT. :) At first you were tricky and had then all seem so out of character, calling each other those names. But it was really nice how you eased into the explanation. It was a sweet one too. :) I loved Snape's explanation as to why he called Harry "Anton". It makes me feel that they are really cousins somehow though. Am i just reading into it too much? Great stuff. Thanks for sharing! (It's Poppy Pomfrey.)
