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!

A Different Start by mandancie starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 37]
Harry discovers something strange in his Gringotts vault among his parents' belongings-a letter of apology from James to Snape. Harry decides he should deliver it. A challenge from Alexannah on Potions and Snitches.

    Awwww, poor Harry. I wonder why he didn't ask for his invisibility cloak though. Did he forget? Does he not care? I wonder if Snape will be able to adequately explain himself to Harry. Thanks for the update.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for your reviews. (I figured I would reply to one since you've reviewed to all three chapters.) I am glad that you enjoyed my story. A lot of things will be explained. I'm hoping my muse will take me to where I want to go, but I have learned that I can't rely on myself because my muse always make a liar out of me. LOL! 

     

    Thank you for your support. I hope that you are staying safe.

Harry wonders what it would be like to visit across the veil. Thanks to a rare potion, he just might find out. Can Snape return Harry's soul to his body before it is too late? - Response to the Halloween Fic Fest
