Chorophobia- Fear of dancing
This is probably a good kind of fear to have.
If there is such thing. Even if there isn't, it doesn't get in my way. At least not often.
I'm terrified of dancing.
If any of my brothers found out, I'd be laughed out of the Burrow. If Ginny discovered why I didn't dance AT ALL at the Yule Ball, I'd be laughed off the British Isle.
I don't know what it is about dancing. It's just very frightening, isn't it? You're half-hugging a girl and swinging around to the music... It's horrible!
The only time I've ever danced was at a family reunion. Some cousin brought his girlfriend that I ended up dancing with. I can't even think about it without trembling.
Maybe I'm scared of girls, too. I see them all the time, so it's not that. I just hate dancing with them.
I can dance by myself just fine. Anything like the Hokey Pokey, or that kind of thing. But dancing with a GIRL! I'd rather face You-Know-Who with every Death Eater he's got. Incidentally, that's probably what Harry will have to do. Glad it's not me.
I'm never going to like dancing. This is likely not going to be a problem. The only time I anticipate dancing in the near future is Bill and Fleur's wedding.
I dread the day.
I like Fleur okay, so it's not the wedding. They always have the dance after weddings. I'll just have to make a lame excuse about why I can't dance with Hermione. Perhaps I should break my leg or fall off a broom or something.
Harry would probably be sympathetic to my plight, but I would really prefer no one knew. I might not ever conquer my fear. But it's not that important.
Is it?
