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 is dragged along for trick-or-treating to collect double the amount of candy for Dudley. After being dropped off in an unfamiliar neighborhood, Harry is tricked by Dudley and his friends to go to the Forbidden House on the Corner, a supposedly haunted house inhabited by a child-eating vampire.

    Awwww, this was sweet. I'm glad that Snape picked up on how abandoned Harry is. Maybe he'll try to keep him. now I want to doze by a fire and drink hot chocolate.

    thanks for writing and sharing!

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading! I had fun with the prompts and really enjoyed this story so much I had to write a proper conclusion in a part II. Thanks again for reading and sharing your encouragement. It means a lot.

    Awwwww, this was so sweet! i'm glad that Harry got not only his own cat, Boomslang, but Hedwig too! It's nice that Harry has his own friends around the world, and is researching his own research too. What a sweet ending. I enoyed this story. Thanks so much for writing and sharing it! 


Harry Potter won the war and was hoping to finally get some rest from the busy world, but some unknown dark forces are stepping onto the chessboard, challenging him to play a deadly 'hide-and-seek' game. Who would win and would it be worth it?

    I'm glad that Harry is standing up for himself and refusing to put up with abuse. Locking Snape in the Headmaster's tower is one way to prevent him from dying. Well done, Harry.

    Yikes, Snape is a mess. So is Harry older because he used the time turner so much? I'm glad that Minerva seems to be Snape's friend despite everything. 



    Author's Response: It is all going to be revealed in due course, I'm afraid :) I'm glad too (of course I am, I made it so, lol), Snape needs a friend.

    Interesting. I liked the tea. A Muggle potion, indeed. Harry is being nice, better than Snape deserves right now. Harry sure matured. This story makes me want to read the other one on AO3. 



    Author's Response: Thank you! My Harry is a diametrically opposite version of his canon doppelganger, just a side note for you, if you're going to read Until the End :) I don't know if links work here, but there it is: https://archiveofourown§org/works/26122489/chapters/63544606 (just replace the § symbol with the dot)

    What is your penname on AO3? I searched for "Until the end" on AO3 but there are 259 matches.

    Edit: nevermind, I think i found it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/26122489/chapters/63544606


The thirty seconds before Weasley came and pulled Potter out of that frozen lake in the Forest of Dean were the longest thirty seconds of his life.

    Loved it. It must of been agony waiting for Harry to resurface. I enjoyed reading Snape's thoughts about it,



    Author's Response: Thank you! It really must have. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Harry gets lost in the forest. Will Severus find him before it's too late?

    Awwwwww, such a cute and sweet scene. How old is Harry here? I liked the details about the scarf and how Harry is never taking it off again. Adorable. Thanks so much for writing and sharing this!



    Author's Response: Thank you! And he's nine :) Haha, thanks!

In his 4th year, Harry feels like he has lost everything while also fighting for his life in the Triwizard Tournament. However, he may find that, perhaps, he has actually found everything he has always wanted. AU

    Yay a new story to read. :) Interesting prologue. I'm guessing that it took a lot to get there and I'm looking forward to reading how that happened.

    Yup, this is a disaster so far. At least Dumbledore is hinting at things to possiby make it better. 

    I think Snape and Harry fight so much because they are similar. Snape just has to get over his prejudices and mistaken belief. At least both of them are thinking about the war and working together.
