Now I am just picturing teen sev’s bedroom covered in these artist posters *3* such presh

Honestly I wish because that would be hilarious and adorable and fantastic blackmail material for his mom to tell his future dates about and his friends to rag on but – 

Severus actually had very little wall space because his room was mostly bed, dresser and wardrobe. They lived in one of those houses where the roof slants the room, and because Tobias kept getting blackmailed out of every coin he made the upkeep was pretty terrible. Paint and wallpaper peeling, all kinds of plumbing issues, the summer bug problem was atrocious. 

Severus learned pretty early on not to have anything valuable out where it could be ripped, shattered or thrown so he’d be unlikely to plaster posters up and give Tobias anything else to wreck. As a result his room was eerily unlived in even for a kid who spent most of the year in boarding school. He kept all his school supplies locked in his trunk, only the broken things and that which didn’t fit went into drawers or the wardrobe, and there was only the most basic things on top of the dresser – hair brush with ties wrapped around the handle, basic hygiene products and MAYBE if he was brave, a book.

Thankfully none of his friends ever saw his house aside from Lily and even she wasn’t allowed in because listen, Eileen knew who she married and who she came back to. She knew things weren’t good and she was very protective of Tobias. She knew better than to let neighbors learn what went on behind closed doors. So nobody knows the absolute void Severus returned to in the summers, and really that’s probably for the best.
