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]

Harry squinted past his glasses, looking into the mirror again.
This was... the strangest thing.

Childfic, fluff, set at the beginning of 2nd year. Oneshot

    Awww this is really sweet :)

It is the week after Christmas, 1991, but for Harry Potter that is no longer true. Instead, he finds himself stepping off the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Station at the beginning of the Christmas hols. His parents greet him with hugs and Harry is drawn into a loving Christmas holiday at Godric's Hollow.

They have been dead for years but now they are alive-- and it's the best thing that has ever happened to Harry.

It is the week after Christmas, 1991, and Harry Potter gazes into the Mirror of Erised, unmoving. He will die, soon enough-- unless something is done-- for the Mirror has him in its power.

    I think I'm in love!!! I've always been fascinated by the mirror of erised and love reading fanfics with it included it in, though it's difficult to find one this in depth with it... and enter Snape!? Like this is- I'm so excited to read more ahhh XD also, I copy and pasted your description into Google and I found the challenge! I don't think we're able to post links on here anymore because of spammers, but it's called A Mirror of Lies by Draco-senpai and it's on page 16 of the challenges!

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'll link into the challenge in the story thing. I searched through all the "m" challenges because I thought it might be called "mirror of something" or whatever, but didn't think to google. And I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've written a fair amount of this story already so the chapter postings should be quite regular :)

    OMG OMG HE REALLY CAME TO VISIT

    Author's Response: Yes, he did, and there'll be a lot more of him in the next chapters. Thanks for the review... And is there something about this chapter that makes people write their reviews in caps? 2 for 2 so far hehe :)

They're stranded in the middle of nowhere, on the run, in the biting cold of a ceaseless winter. Severus has to make sure Potter survives.

No matter the cost.

    nice story!! Hope that the boys and you both get warm soon XD

    Author's Response: I kinda hope the same XD thank you for reading!

After Harry's turbulent second summer and third year, he's begun to gain more confidence in himself in his dealings with the community. He's learning to find his footing in his new family as well, even as Albus and Severus struggle to find theirs. The wizarding community isn't happy about Harry's stance on Fae, and now that he's been entered into the Tri-Wizard tournament, Harry will have to find a way to balance the backlash he's facing from his community and the dangers of the tournament he must prepare for.

    I’m really enjoying this!!

When Harry is attacked at school he feels like he's an entirely different person living in the shell of who he used to be. This is a story of trauma and Harry's fight towards recovery.

    I love Harry’s friends being concerned for him, and running around and playing like children!

Harry thought having detention with Umbridge over his winter holidays were bad enough, but now his hand is infected, the other students and staff are getting far too deep into the Christmas spirit, and he really just wants to suffer alone.
