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]

Divergence by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 204]
Harry Potter starts Hogwarts with high hopes of finding himself a real family, and holds tightly to this hope despite the torture his new Potion's Master seems intent on putting him through. Can Harry's hope hold out long enough to see his dream through?

Dobby was right when he said danger awaited Harry at Hogwarts; he was just mistaken on the form it would take.

Reviewer: MellarkandArt (Signed)
    Ooo I love what you did there, I wish the birthday wish had been in canon it’s such a good idea!

    Author's Response: Yes, I would've liked something more than Harry's somewhat despondent "Make a wish, Harry" while blowing out candles drawn in the dusty floor of the Hut. But when I get to play with the characters, I can make it happen! Glad you liked it, and thanks fir reading and reviewing!

Title: Chapter 7: Wizarding Rescue 29 May 2021
Reviewer: MellarkandArt (Signed)
    Awwww you write Harry so cute!!

    Author's Response: Awww, yourself! He's so young and filled with wonder at this stage! I really enjoy trying to see his world through his eyes, and even more trying to see the Wizarding world through Harry's eyes. I saw the first four films without having read any of the books, and I can still feel that jaw-dropping sense of wonder and excitement that I experienced along with Harry himself!
