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!

Harry finds himself having to unravel a mystery across time when he is forced to spend the summer with his Potions Master and Snape's estranged family. Who is the boy Harry keeps meeting at unexpected moments and why is it that Snape suddenly starts to develop some slightly more human qualities as the two slowly come to understand one another?

    Oh boy! Poor Harry, and poor Snape! Sounds like they both are in for a hard time. I hope things will turn around.

    Snape seems very patient, it’s good.

    I’m loving the story so far, can’t wait to read more! Thanks for writing and posting it to share! Please update when you can. :)

    Author's Response: Thank you! This is my first fanfic and I am really enjoying myself as I write. I have been reading all of the stories on here quite avidly for a while now and I love all the wonderful Snape/Harry fics :-)

    I love your portrayal of Snape from Harry’s semi conscious state.

    Dumbledore should have listened to Harry. Having Umbridge write letters to the Dursley’s regularly is new and inventive. All your characters are very in character.

    I wonder how Harry will take all the events and whatever effects the potion has on him. I’m f Snape was wary and displeased about giving Harry the potion, I can only imagine Harry’s reaction. Poor kid.

    Loving this story so far! Great job.

    Fantastic start! I love it so far, everyone is I character, and your descriptive writing is just right. I’m excited for this story.

    I love it! Fantastic chapter! Thanks so much for the update! I wonder what Snape's reaction is going to be to hearing that Harry is "fabricating" a child version of himself. He will probably think Harry is crazy, but eventually he will remember himself, right? Fantastic story! Please update when you can!

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying it :-) This next chapter starts to reveal a little more about Snape's understanding (or lack thereof!) of what is going on with Harry.

    I love it! Fantastic development! Little Harry is so cute! Of course he is going to believe Dumbledore that Snape is his father. This is going to be fun. I sense lots of feelings coming up. Hooray! Thanks for the update!

    Loved it, great job portraying Snape! I especially liked the ending with the uncertainty if Snapeis actually alive. Well done, and thanks for the Halloween treat!

Found A Peanut! by Hopeless Wanderer starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 4]
There were only two things Harry James Potter and Severus Snape shared in common in the staff Halloween party that night, both were severely allergic to peanuts and Professor Trelawney had predicted their deaths more than once. What could go wrong?

Kids These Days by ocha starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 9]
Harry, Ron and Hermione feel really bad about accusing Snape of trying to steal the stone this year. So they're determined to get better at potions next year to make it up to him. (And maybe find out that this potions thing isn't too bad after all...?)

    Oh poor Harry. He’ll be left at the station now, for sure! How will he get out of this mess? Maybe Hermione’s parents will go back to check? Most adults wouldn’t leave a kid alone. Great chapter! I’m enjoying the story a lot!

    Author's Response: Thank you for your kind response :). I'm glad you enjoyed it. We'll just have to see where this goes ;)

Don't Chicken Out, Harry! by Lemon Curd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 63]
Severus Snape never wanted to be an Animagus and the only upside to his utterly useless animagus form is that he gets to tell Albus Dumbledore "I told you so."

However, when Harry Potter foolishly ingests a confectionary offered to him by Fred Weasley, Severus has to employ any and all means at his disposal to avert a disaster.

    This is brilliant! Fantastic! Hilariously entertaining! Clever and amusing. I am utterly delighted at Harry-chick and the incognito Rooster-Snape. This is golden.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I was aiming for hilarious. :)
