Tobi took a deep breath, composed himself. And said something that wasn't perhaps the brightest of all things he could have said, "Aggie, you have got to stop freaking out every time I'm seen in the company of other girls. Do you know how many girls go to to this school? They're EVERYWHERE. I'm literally surrounded by girls during Quidditch practice, it's just how it worked out. And Lyra is just one girl that I happen to know, happen to hang around with. She died my hair for flying homework. It's not that nefarious. "

Lyra, Anna, Kayla, Hannah, they were all friendships of his that Aggie had reacted badly to. She'd even been initially cold to Valentine. Aggie had never got on very well with other girls, but not wanting him to be friends with any is a bit excessive, isn't it?
While Tobi was secretly promising not to strangle Aggie, Aggie was making no promises of her own. In fact –

Smack!

The book came up and popped him in the chest. “Tobi Avalon,” she growled as she whispered. “If you think I’m jealous of all your girly friends…you are gravely mistaken.” It was true. Aggie wasn’t jealous of all of them, just a few. The few that seemed to get more time with him the she did and it was the time, more then the girls that increased the invidiousness of her situation.

“And I may be slow, but I am not stupid. I know how many girls go here.” She glared at him as she reached up on her tiptoes, attempting to get somewhere near as tall as him. It was a loosing battle on her part that probably made her look ridiculous. “And when you spend 80% of your day with them, 20% of which is spent practicing on a team compiled of nothing but but girls!” she poked him in the chest with her finger. “You cannot blame me for being a bit!” She held her hand up pinching her fingers together to emphasize the word “bit”. “Worried or upset about it.” Because somewhere, deep in the back of her mind (in a moment of actually girliness) Aggie sometimes wondered if Tobi was dating her to keep someone else at bay.
