About me:

Heyo! I'm Art, a twenty-one-year-old fangirl totally and completely obsessed with Harry Potter, Harry Potter fanfiction in particular.

I got the HP book set for Christmas in 2020, and I really did not expect to like it much. But I ended up falling deeply in love. I read the books quickly as I am a fairly fast reader, but I would often set the books aside and start reading fanfiction long before I finished the series. So basically, I spoiled the whole series for myself haha. BUT, I feel like I probably wouldn't have fallen so hard for Harry and Sev gen fic if I had focused solely on canon, as fanfiction convinced me to like Severus before I could really even properly dislike him. So that's okay.

I have always been a sucker for found family, in every fandom I've ever been a part of, and so Potions and Snitches is like a God send for me. In other fandoms I've had to search high and low for the couple of heartwarming family fluff fics, but I joined this site in early January 2021 and I still have so much to read!

I have been writing practically my whole life, but I was one of those writer-who-isn't-writing types. I mostly wrote songs and a few short fanfics. My older works for other fandoms on FFN are quite horrid, and I feel like I've learned a lot about the art as of late. I'm really super excited and proud of what I'm writing now, and I hope that my readers are enjoying my work half as much as I'm enjoying writing it!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to support my stories, you can check out my tumblr under MellarkandArt for story updates and general Potterhead nonsense! I'm also on Ao3 and FFN under the same username, and I'm in the P&S Discord, where my server nickname is Art! [Report This]

    This is so goooood ugh, I accept it as canon

In the summer after fifth year, Harry's done sharing everything. It's his turn to keep secrets, and to lie to protect them.

    I know it’s been fifteen years, but I hope you do continue this someday. I really love how you’ve portrayed Harry’s mental health struggles.

Severus Snape is studying muggle medicine in hope to gain information, which will help him improve his own healing potions. He find’s the strangest boy whilst visiting a muggle doctor. The boy seems so familiar, but from where does he recognise him?

    Poor babies :’(

Snape knows Harry Potter's eyes. He knows how they've changed and how come they have. Yet Snape can't escape the memory of the young Harry who he met over old Chinese food, stolen bandages, and a dislocated shoulder. Wait and Hope for the world's end.

    awww so sad and lovely

Response to the FicFest Challenge #12: "6th year: A time for NEWT preparations, friends, romance, life altering decisions... and re-inoculations." Guess who is helping out in the infirmary when Harry comes in to get his?

    this is soooo beautiful

Hogwarts has been under siege for some time. The supplies are dwindling, food is running low and most of the potions have been spent... Harry is injured and Snape is the only one able to help at the moment. There are no potions left, and no correct ingredients to make any so they’ll have to bind it Muggle Style.
