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!

    Awww, but Hermione didn't do anything wrong. Can't Harry be nice AND be against Dumbledore?

    Author's Response: You'll see what Hermione did to upset him shortly. Also, as he is now a death eater, he is expected to carry himself differently.

Up in Smoke by moonterra starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 2]
One wrong word and a murderer is born. Sealed away through seven generations, the fire of dragons awakens an inheritance and brings forth a tribrid in a frightened teen sentenced to death. Not just a tribrid, rare as it is, but a tribrid of two class 4 creatures and one class 5 creature, making him a danger to society, a danger that must be restrained for the good of the people. From this inheritance an ancient bond forms between the newly registered creature and a professor...a ministry worker...a curse that affects not only the creature but their descendants for eternity as well. Enter into a darker world of slavery as a boy once known as the savior finds truths that shatter his very existence, a world hidden beneath the earth and within the shadows were no light can be found. The mentor guides the shattered light into a destiny he is unprepared for while a bitter soul remains trapped in darkness though free unlike the chained being. Yet circumstances change the bitter soul and open his eyes to a world he heard mere tales about in youth...where redemption is nowhere to be found.

    Awwww, I love this! The broom chase and such was so dramatic, and how Harry fell and broke hia ankle... Harry was determined to get away, but Snape's determination to catch him won.

    So are all the students home or on the train now? It said Hogwarts was quiet. Harry's friends must be worried sick. What does Dumbledore think? Will he still try to force Harry to return to the Dursleys?

    Thanks for writing and sharing this story. I really love it so far. Please update when you can.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed! It's the middle of the night when they arrive. Sorry, I think a paragraph got removed when I was editing... now to remember what it was... For everything else I guess you'll have to find out in the next chapter ;)

    Hello, I looked at my bug reports and saw that your first chapter was having trouble appearing. I fixed it for you. The "In Order" number for the chapter was set to 0 when it was supposed to be 1. It should work now. I cleaned up the author notes in the first chapter so people don't get confused.

    chocolate frogs,

    Jan

    Author's Response: Thank you so much!!!

Turns out, the Dursley's weren't too happy with Harry for blowing up Aunt Marge. Harry finds himself on the streets of Muggle London.

    Wow, fantastic writing. I love this Harry. The way Snape took care of him, getting him a meal, clothes, a shower, and taking him back to Hogwarts was wonderful. He could of brought Harry back filthy but then the other students would see. Snape was really decent.

    Poor Hedwig though. I hope that she got to safety. Maybe she was found when they went to 4 Privet Drive to look for Harry?

    It's really too bad about the cloak being burned. That was an heirloom, an irreplaceable item. Everything else could be replaced but that.

    I hope that Harry will get a new broom at least.

    Who will take Harry shopping? I hope Snape. :)

    Awwww, what a sweet story with a positive ending.

    LOL at Snape asking if he looked like Oliver Wood.

    The only question remaining, is what happened to Hedwig? Is she okay?

    Great story otherwise, I really enjoyed it. thanks for writing and posting it.

    Author's Response: Good question. Here's what I imagine: Hedwig took a while to recover on her own, but eventually made her way back to Hogwarts and Harry. Let us imagine that she showed up one day at breakfast, and Snape was the first person Harry turned to with a large smile as she nipped a kipper off of his plate.

    I love this beginning, Snape having to pretend that Harry is his son to ward of the Muggle lady. This wild Harry is an interesting change, I like it. I wonder where all his magical stuff is.

    Just an FYI: I had to edit your chapter because the link you placed in the end notes had such a long url that it was making the chapter too wide to read. I had to go into the database and add some html to make the link go away. If you edit this chapter, the link blockers will remove the link. So if you ever need to update this chapter please let me know so I can fix the link again. Thank you.

Severus Snape and His Ex-Best Friend’s Evil Sister by sssrha starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 26]
When Albus Dumbledore makes him personally meet the Boy Who Refuses To Read His Fucking Letter, he does so with great reluctance. When he finds himself in the middle of nowhere, confronted with an old enemy… Well, Severus Snape may hate Harry Potter—but he DESPISES Petunia Dursley.

    I love this!! Haha your Snape is great. Love his attitude. Fantastic start. I think I’ve read it before (I add the stories to the P&S Fanfiction.net group).

    Absolutely fabulous, love the humor too.

    I accidentally gave the wrong rating with my review so I had to delete it and repost.

Solitude's Echo by Swamygliders starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 3]

    Awwww, sweet one shot. I liked the use of the phone. And ordering Chinese. :) I'm glad Snape was able to get there and get through to Harry. Hermione is smart and wise beyond her years.

A Potion's Miracle by Maraudering_Paige starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 25]
Harry Potter is involved in a potions accident which ends up with him de-aging to a foetus and implanting in the womb of Severus Snape, who is a bearer. Severus can no longer spy, to the chagrin of Albus Dumbledore, but he uses it as an opportunity to show his true self, the person he has been forced to hide for over twenty years.
And maybe, just maybe, he can save his students from the pressures of war.
Mentions of physical, emotional and sexual abuse that various characters are trying to heal from. Many characters being bashed.
I don't own Harry Potter.
