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!

Severus Snape sits down and unwraps his burger, but wait, who's that kid with messy hair, dirty clothes, and glasses?

    Aw, cute. I wish Snape had told Petunia something about not letting Harry out so late. Even though she seemed to not want him out so late, Harry did say he did it all the time and wasn't kidnapped yet.

    I found it amusing that Snape enjoys a "mundane" burger a couple times a year.

    Nice story, and thanks for writing and sharing. :)

When Harry was snatched and being hold in a cell by the death eaters, Snape is ordered to rescue him by any means.
As they recover, truths and revelations come to the surface. Along with matters of conflicts, family, duties and guilt.
The boy who lived, chained by a prophecy. And the spy, whose life soon to be owned thrice. Despite their grievances, their similarities create an unlikely bond between them.
“Without the sun, the moon, too, shall lose it’s light.” (Story starts at summer after year 4, and will continue till the end of deathly hallows)

    Nice start! Poor Harry, he’s all discombobulated. I like how the chapter ends, with hope.

Title: Chapter 2: Ch 2 Viola Sororia 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Beautiful ending to the chapter. Snape was smart to realize Bella was listening.

    Some of the descriptions and writing are a little confusing, but I was able to understand.

    I really love the attached artwork. Good start.

Title: Chapter 3: Ch 3 Counting Blessings 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow. Why is Snape in so much pain? Is he injured? Or just too much Cruciatus? One would think he had pain potions to take, but perhaps he wants to keep his wits around him, and pain potions would make him foggy.

Title: Chapter 4: Ch 4 Then he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not sever it. 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    This is a much better chapter, explaining what is going on, and easier to read.

    Using Fawks is a grand idea. Interesting how they transfigured him into a little medallion or tiny plate. I hope their plan works.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 A change of plans 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wait, lower the wards? This is a new idea. I’m glad the Malfoys did as Snape suggested. Draco must be very confused.

    I hope Snape manages to get Harry free when the time comes.

    I’m enjoying the pace of this story. It is interesting and moving swiftly. I did notice that the writing is getting better. The tenses still change though. They need to match throughout. You seem to write in the present tense, but sometimes a past tense is used.

    Well I am glad that Snape and Harry are still safe, and not caught. I am enjoying this story.

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Imbalance 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Woah, amazing turn of events! I love Snape flying.

    The potion theory and creation was fascinating.

Title: Chapter 7: Ch 7 Everything will be alright 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Yay they are saved! Although the worse for wear, I’m glad they are finally safe and can start healing. That dagger is a nasty piece of work.

    I really liked the dream, and how Snape was singing a healing chant.

Title: Chapter 8: Ch 8 No Promises 30 May 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Cute chapter. I love that Harry knows about Snape and his mother knowing each other.

    The little album of Malfoy and Snape pictures was sweet.

    I hope Snape doesn’t bleed to death in the infirmary.

Title: Chapter 9: Ch 9 Scotch and Tabby 29 Jun 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Love it, love it, love it. Poor Snape and his cat. It was so precious that McGonagall allowed him to snuggle her in cat form. I'm glad that Harry seems to be alright, but would the antidote work since the potion was tampered with unknowingly? Great chapter.
