Eeep, and Anna and Plymouth were going to demonstrate? His eyes automatically went from his own feet, where they'd been since he'd started dancing, to where the pair were. His body managed to keep with the natural flow of the dance somehow, even though he wasn't fully paying attention to it anymore.

"If they're demonstrating then... we should watch to make sure we're doing it right," Raiden said brightly, grinning as he looked at Kiri. "Though I'm sure you're doing it right, at the very least. You're a good dancer, Kiri!"
"Thanks, but... I don't think... so," Kiri said, breathing in out and quite heavily now and puffing a few words every time the see-saw steps brought Raiden and her close to each other. "First time... dancing..." To her surprise and quiet horror, she realised that she actually liked it. She liked to dance! Why hadn't she been introduced to it sooner?
The redness on her face was now mostly due to the constant moving, she didn't feel too embarrassed or awkward anymore. She was working up a sweat, too.

Turning her head, Kiri could see the two people the teacher had chosen to demonstrate the jitterbug dance stand up and prepare. Not looking at her feet or straight ahead at Raiden made her balance a little shaky. Her hair was brushing into her face annoyingly, but by now Kiri wouldn't have stopped for hard galleons. Probably. No wonder this was popular with Muggles, she thought, watching the Gryffindor girl and her partner.
