Milo was trying to get some last minute studying in because once he was home, his life would be briefly taken over by his four elder sisters. Everyone except Maisie were all married and had their own homes and yet they still found some way to harrass him. It was maddening sometimes but he would do most anything for them.

He looked up when one of his friends approached. "My sisters would storm the castle if I tried staying here for Christmas," Milo said with a laugh, imagining the particularly dainty Ruby trying to storm anything, much less Hogwarts. "I'm mostly packed except for the things I still need to use." He lived in Hogsmeade so it wasn't much of a journey but he liked to be prepared.
