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]

It's Bloody Better: Harry Snape and the Time Paradox by VerityGrahams starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 10]
The Battle of Hogwarts is over, and the dust begins to settle. The trio are haunted and not just from the battle. Harry wants to do something about that, something that Hermione doesn’t agree with at all.

Flower Language by VerityGrahams starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 7]
Harry thinks that there was more to the dressing down that Professor Snape gave him in his first potions lesson, and now he’s determined to find out exactly what Snape is hiding

    Awwww this is beautiful. I’ve seen the theory of Snape’s first words to Harry several times and I love that you made a story about it!

    Author's Response: Thank you for reading and your reivew. It was so nice to make a story out of a theory that I do love so much

Poisonous Miracles by Flooney starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 15]
Due to the Dursley's being 'preoccupied' for the summers, Dumbledore arranges for Harry to be sent to a summer camp. Little does he know that a particular Potions Master will be there as well. Suspicions are confirmed, however, when Snape begins prowling around the boy, discoveries he'd never thought possible unravelling. Set in the summer after Second Year, Severitus/Sevitus.

A Summer To Remember by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 32]
Every once in a while Hogwarts held a summer camp the week after school ended. Severus was none too pleased that this was one of those years the Ministry and the board of governors had decided to hold one. And though he would like to think there was nothing worse than little miscreants staying on the grounds for a full week past term, there was Potter, strutting across the grounds as a camp counselor, with a group of starry eyed first and second years following after him. Welcome to the week from hell. For the Summer Camp At Hogwarts challenge by me on P and S.

The Fires of Winter by MagnificentAndStrange starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 9]
They are winter, all darkness and bone-white skin, surviving on air that knives into them at each breath. Severus has always known this about himself, but it is devastating to see it in someone else, in the very child he has vowed to protect.

Today I'm weak, Tomorrow I'll conquer the world by WyL starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 16]
Harry and Dudley were raised by muggles. Magic hating muggles at that. When Dudley had begun showing signs of magic at a young age, precious Duddykins had become the dirt upon their shoes, alongside his younger cousin (Little brother) Harry. When both boys were shunned from their meant-to-be protectors, but thrown into the magical world with nothing but each other how will they cope? And what happens when you add that darned Potions professor in the mix?

Staying with Snape by Kitthalia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 14]
When Harry runs away from Privet Drive after blowing up Aunt Marge, he makes his way to the Leaky Cauldron only to meet Professor Dumbledore there. Instead of being allowed to stay in the Leaky Cauldron on his own, Dumbledore has him stay with a man who owes him a favour...
The strangest thing about living with Severus Snape is not that Snape doesn't consume people's hearts for breakfast but rather that he decides Potter ought to be old enough not to need constant supervision and treats him (mostly) accordingly.

Every New Iteration by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
Something strange is happening at Hogwarts, and Severus Snape is determined to find out what. Harry’s acting strange, Dumbledore seems oddly aloof about the whole situation and… wait, haven’t they done this day already? Several times?
