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]

The Present by myramcqueen starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 6]
Severus Snape wanted to give his adopted son Harry a special Christmas present, this year. But has it backfired on him, and will he live to regret it?

Second story in the 'Milky Tea' universe, so you may want to read the first story 'Milky Tea' prior, but can be read as a stand alone piece too.

AU/ Severitus, fluff, childfic

Burning Memories by Flooney starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 24]
“What— What are you doing?” To his credit, he manages to pull the child to a full stop by yanking him back, bringing him in closer to hold his shoulders again and glare at him in the eyes, no matter the way he winces at their familiar colour. “You are aware that you have just undergone a panic attack, are you not?”


There’s something in Potter’s eyes that seems to flash at that, but it’s gone within the moment. Severus files that away for later ruminations.


“I know,” he says matter-of-factly, like he’s just declared that the sky is blue.

Grease & Lightning by Mothboss starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.

Feature Books And Aconite: The Adventures Of A Potions Apprentice by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 213]
Uncle Vernon’s acting weird, and Snape has designs on making Harry the most obedient student Hogwarts has ever seen. Harry just wants a quiet summer to himself and to earn the money he needs for his school supplies, but he could only hope for something so simple. Entry into the Bingo Card Fic Fest.

The Privilege of Being Known by Hopeless Wanderer starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 6]
Harry needs a break. From himself. From reality. From the huge ordeal of existing and being alone in that existence.

He also has double-potions first thing in the morning.

The Show Must Go On by Lady Connor starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 92]
Responding to JAWorley's Just Pretending Challenge:
Severus is in big trouble. He doesn't have any kids, but he's supposed to be bringing his son to Christmas to meet his family, who he's been estranged from for twelve or thirteen (or more) years. Harry ends up being that pretend son.

Feature Understanding by MagnificentAndStrange starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 9]
Winter break of Harry’s first year at Hogwarts brings awful memories of his life with the Dursleys and new stresses in the forms of Quidditch rivalry and wizarding biases. Still trying to figure out what Hagrid’s three-headed dog is guarding, Harry’s also struggling to adapt to a world that he didn’t know existed mere months ago. When fighting between the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams gets out of hand, Harry suffers because of it and Snape must help him begin to heal.
