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!

Entrant for the Holiday Fic fest 2015. Harry is the adopted son of Tobias Snape. Now Tobias has promised to invite his other son home for Christmas and Harry is eagerly looking forward to meet his “brother”, whom he has never met before.

    Awww, cute start! I wonder how Tobias got Harry. I suppose I will find out soon.

Bats are renowned as the only mammals capable of maintaining true and sustained flight, and are highly skilled fliers due to their unique abilities. It would only make sense then for Hogwarts' own dungeon bat to have these same skills. Even so, Harry still didn't understand how he had come to be in this situation, challenging one Professor Snape on the Quidditch pitch. Oneshot

    Haha awesome! Great descriptions! Fantastic first story.

Harry appears somewhat saddened after he returns to Hogwarts. Hermione alone notices and decides to cheer up her friend.
A few days later Snape gets a surprise while patrolling the hallways.
Set in September of the 2nd year before the attacks begin.

    Hahaha! Great realization.

    Oh, fantastic setup! Well done! I wonder what went wrong with the spell. Was Hermione too powerful?

Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry -GoF pg 342.

Harry never expected to be adopted—especially not by Snape. Harry hates his new father, and the feeling is mutual. But to the outside world, they have to pretend otherwise, or Harry could end up in very deep trouble. Is anyone that good at acting?

    Wow, fantastic interaction, thoughts of the characters, descriptions of the setting and surrounding. Great writing, and I am loving where this story is going. Thank you so much for all the updates!!!

Title: Chapter 4: Cooking Up 29 Jan 2016
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow, great drama. I love it! Such angst, poor Harry. I wonder how Snape is taking all this, and how he will take the truth. Fantastic chapter. Thanks for the update!

Title: Chapter 5: Slightly Less Strangers 29 Jan 2016
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow. The drama! This story is so awesome! Great conversation here. I love Snape and Harry getting to know each other better - the information about Snape is inspired! I'm so happy and surprised at learning all those things about him, but sad over how all of his family died. Maybe this adoption thing will be as good for him as it is for Harry. Thank you so much for all the chapters! I am definitely loving this story.

Before his first Quidditch match, 11 year old Harry receives a gift. Canon with a twist ;) Oneshot

    Ohhh, I love it!! A great second look at a canon event. :)

To the world Harry Potter is either a deranged freak or a celebrated hero, but the truth about Harry and the secret the child carries is about to turn the world upside down - not only Harry's but Snape's as well!

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Aww, yay! Hermione! So will Harry be offered a place to stay with Hermione's parents? That could be okay, except the fact that Hermione's parents are Muggles and can't protect the girls with magic should the need arise. I can't see Snape agreeing to it, not only for Harry's safety but also because he wants her, actually wants her. I think Harry will see it and agree, but maybe not after he catches her lying and out of bed, and meeting with Dumbledore. I wonder if Snape knows Dumbledore wants to take Harry away from him. Fantastic chapter, I can't wait to read the rest!
