"It should have been boring for most people to just watch someone live their daily life – but it wasn’t boring to him. It was fascinating. From the way Snape held his sandwich and drank his morning coffee in a nearby bakery to the way he walked, making his long black cloak float around his thin body. Sometimes, the young omega would enter a local bookshop to spend hours searching through different titles.
The dog always took note of what he used to buy. If it was muggle literature, he would choose something related to medicine or biology, and as for fiction, he liked classics and fantasy. If it was from the Wizarding World, he chose everything related to the Dark Arts and potions, as expected from someone like him. Snape was someone predictable, someone who didn’t like stepping out of his comfort zone.
If he liked a certain type of food, he would stick to it. If he liked a genre of literature, he wouldn’t pick a book that didn’t fit into that category. He was a lover of a quiet life, of simple things. It was almost sad to think that the war would take that away from him, that that same war would rip him away from everything he once considered safe."
