Don’t act like you are or better yet,” Aggie chuckled at the thought. “Ask someone out.”
"I don't act single!" Tobi yanked his friend down from the wall unceremoniously, catching her in one arm as she yelped. "Oh don't be like that, I've got you." He set her down on the ground maybe a little harder than he normally would have. He held tight to her waist without even thinking about it.
"Now," he blustered. "I simply have friends. I'm NICE to people. Lots of them happen to be girls. Celandine for instance is a really nice girl, clever thing, her brother isn't at Hogwarts anymore, she misses him. I know how that feels. Hannah and her brother yes, I have lots of friends who are guys too, are in most of my classes, we get along. And it really isn't my fault that I'm the only boy on the entire starting Quidditch team is it?" It suddenly occured to Tobi that he hadn't told Aggie he'd made the team yet, the lists had only come out that morning. He braced himself for her reaction but they seemed to be delayed, so he took the opportunity to yammer further.
"And if I got a girlfriend, what if she were all possessive and such? Maybe she wouldn't like it that my best friend were a girl? Maybe she wouldn't let me hang around with you? Did you ever think of that?" That thought made something heavy land hard in the pit of his stomach, like he swallowed a bludger. How terrible would it be if he couldn't hang around with Aggie? Or any of his friends. Them too...
