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!

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.

    Oh this is too good. Haha Snape actually changed his mind and decided himself to take on Harry. I was expecting Dumbledore to force him to do it. But I rather like Snape doing it of his own accord.

    It's cool that Dudley gets to see Harry as sort of cool. He actually seems decent in this story.

    What a wonderful portrayal of the Dursleys. Fabuous story so far. Thank you so much for writing and sharing it!

Searching for Love by Song of the Sea starstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 8]
Most of the wizarding world thought that Draco was Lucius Malfoy's only child. What nobody besides the family knew was that Draco had a younger half-sister, Yue Prince-Malfoy, who was kidnapped as an infant.

    Poor guys. I wonder how much Draco knows. How old are they now?

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow so that was an early discovery. I like the set up so far. I enjoy a more emotional Snape and Malfoy.

    But why was Lia not shocked at being transported? And how come her adopted name is Yelihn when the Potters seem to use anglicized (English) names?

    It's an interesting start and I'd like to know what happens next. The chapters were very short. You may want to make your chapters at least three times as long to get better reviews.

When Harry accidentally drinks a brutal potion with roots in dark magic, he has to reluctantly rely on Hogwarts’ prickly Potions Master to fix the outcome.

    Oh Mundungus. He really shouldn't be trusted. You did a good job with his accent. And Harry is very much in character. :) Good start.

    Author's Response: Ah thank you so much! Accents can be so tricky to write.

    Sirius is very in character, as are McGonagall and Poppy. Well done! I'm feeling sorry for Harry. Obviously, something is not right here. Poor Harry.

    I really like that you gave Poppy ways to identify potions ingredients and such. Very useful skill for a mediwitch.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah Harry's situation is only getting started, poor boy.

Title: Chapter 3: The Draught of Asphodel 26 Jan 2023
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Yikes! Poor Harry. He's honestly really lucky that Hermione figured it out. Really lucky. If she hadn't been around, would Hrry have died before anyone else did figure it out?

    I do think Harry was well within his rights to throw stuff at the news. Nice to see realistic portrayals of a teenaged boy.

    Author's Response: If no one had figured it out then yeah he would have died. This is a very gnarly potion. Lol--I'm glad you liked him throwing stuff! He deserves to throw things after such awful news.

Title: Chapter 4: Master Snape 02 Feb 2023
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    I love this nerdy version of Snape.

    “She ran an assessment. The ingredients she found were weird.”

    “Excellent.” Snape said.

    Oh so in character and fun! And yes, when Harry explains his actions out loud they do sound stupid.

    I loved this line, Snape rubbed his temples and wished for strength for himself and a brain for Potter.

    I love Snape's wit in this. Fantastic setup, lovely bantering and development. A delight to read.

    Author's Response: Aw thank you Jan, this is such a nice comment. I hope you stick around for the rest of the story. <3 <3

Title: Chapter 5: A Long Year 18 Mar 2023
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Awww, poor Harry. He got what Snape thought he deserved. Of course Malfoy started it, I wonder if Malfoy also put something in Harry's cauldron to mess it up.

    Hermione's a good friend. Harry's lucky to have her.

    Great chapter. I'm loving this story.

Title: Chapter 6: Sirius 18 Mar 2023
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Ugh Umbridge is the worst. It looks like Harry is going to met the blood quill on top of the discipline with Snape. What an awful year for him. I hope Ron shapes up and gets over whatever is going on with him.

    i'm loving your Sirius. Very in character. Great chapter.
