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]

A Not So Simple Wish by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 24]
When Severus overhears a wish Harry has, he starts to wonder why such a simple wish hasn’t already been granted. He also begins to wonder what Harry has been hiding and finds himself surprised at why Harry has lied to him. A one shot.

Fair and Foul by Lemon Curd starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 53]
Ginny's is not the only valentine Harry gets. After eating the chocolate gifted to him by an anonymous admirer, Harry realizes he is very much in love with none other than the handsome Gildery Lockhart. But will Gilderoy love him back? Why is Hermione suddenly in love with Snape? And who is the mysterious blonde beauty Snape has been seen with? (Warning: Mention of rape. But no worries, it is not overly dark, and no inappropriate relationships between students and teachers actually happen.)

Past Featured Story A Condition Of Duality by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 30]
Once upon a time a new headmaster dragged a young man in his charge back from the depths of darkness. Now, years later, another boy has turned up to school in poor shape and the Headmaster thinks it’s time for Severus Snape to pay forward what was once done for him, even if said Potions Master goes kicking and screaming all the way. Written for round two of the 2019 Tri-W tournament (even though it’s submitted late). If you like this story don't forget to go vote for it in Site News.

Past Featured Story A Place for Harry by MagnificentAndStrange starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 27]
Christmas is supposed to be a time of giving and caring, but nine-year-old Harry Potter knows the Dursleys will do whatever they can to make him miserable. After a terrible day at primary school, he doesn’t expect the evening at Number Four, Privet Drive to be any better, but perhaps it’s not too late for something good to happen.…

    omg, this is so beautiful. I cried in so many places, but especially when the teacher and the headmaster were being so cruel to Harry. I can really see Harry being treated this badly in canon, we know he was bullied at school and neglected at home and it honestly hurts to think about sometimes. I'm really glad that Snape had a place for him and I only wish that someone had come to rescue canon Harry.

    Author's Response: thank you so much for your lovely comment! I was interested in writing a fic with Harry unaware of the wizarding world when he meets Snape, so I'm very glad you enjoyed reading this fic, though I know I did get a bit angsty at times :)

Lefties by Hopeless Wanderer starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 33]
Severus finds something about Harry, that Harry doesn't like about himself and is dead set on hiding it from everyone.

Where the Heart is by silver_fish starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 13]
After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so.

As it turns out, though, sometimes help can arrive in even the most unexpected of forms too.

    wow... I have read a lot of fanfiction in my time... this might be the best one I’ve come across. So very well written, your style is breathtaking... then the story itself is heart wrenching in the best way. I absolutely adore this, perfectly paced and realistic, mature... I enjoy all kinds of fanfiction, even the silly stories but every now and then there’s a story like this that just... wow. Amazing. Thank you for writing.
