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!

    Poor Harry, he's really depressed. I really like this caring version of Malfoy.

Grease & Lightning by Mothboss starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.

    I love this story so much! Poor little Harry, but I am so glad that Snape appeared to help. Even if his driving is crazy and dangerous. Haha!

No More by Skylar Kay Nash starstarstarstar [Reviews - 10]
Harry is tired of the abuse, and he knows that Voldemort would relieve him of his sufferings. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Harry seeks out the man who sought to kill him, and in doing so, endangers someone he never thought possible.

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Oh no they did bring him to Voldemort! I thought that maybe Draco would floo Harry to Snape's in secret. Well I wonder what Voldemort will make of Harry.

    This is such an interesting story. Good pace.

    Author's Response: Draco would never have done it willingly, but his father made him. He feels really bad.

Title: Chapter 3: Revealed 03 Nov 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wait how did Snape get Harry? The last thing that happened was that Voldemort was there and Nagini and Harry blacked out. What did Voldemort say? When did Snape get there? Are they still at Malfoy manor? What did Voldemort tell Snape to do?

    I'm very interested in this, and feel like a chapter is missing right before this one that would tell us what is going on.

    Author's Response: will be explained. Snape won't be able to stop thinking about it.

Title: Chapter 1: It's Not Going to Last. 03 Nov 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow, what a unique idea. Poor Harry is in a very dark place mentally. I'm glad Hedwig is there for him. I hope Draco helps him instead of alerting his father about Harry and turning him over to the Dark Lord.

    Author's Response: You'll see, unless you already did.

Feature Books And Aconite: The Adventures Of A Potions Apprentice by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 205]
Uncle Vernon’s acting weird, and Snape has designs on making Harry the most obedient student Hogwarts has ever seen. Harry just wants a quiet summer to himself and to earn the money he needs for his school supplies, but he could only hope for something so simple. Entry into the Bingo Card Fic Fest.

Title: Chapter 1: An Unusual Start To The Summer 06 Nov 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow, fantastic start! I absolutely love how decent Vernon is being, and how he is less bothered by magic than Petunia. I imagine part of the reason why Petunia is bothered by magic is because of her sister's death, the Death Eaters, and such too.

    I'm really enjoying this story. Fantastic setup and pace! Everyone is really in character, and well-developed. I'm really enjoying this version of Vernon too.

Title: Chapter 2: A Chance Encounter On Diagon Alley 07 Nov 2022
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Haha! I absolutely love how this all came out! Vernon butting in, asking Snape of all people to apprentice Harry. Oh, that was priceless. This is quickly becoming my favorite story. I am really enjoying Vernon's character, quite an accomplishment!
