[Harry sets the Firebolt into the air, where it hovers at proper mounting height, and swings a leg over it, scooting up a bit from where he generally sits to make sure she has plenty of room, and tucking his legs under him, leaving the stirrups for her to use for that extra bit of support. The Firebolt still has an impressive turn of speed, he's looked after it as best he can over the years, but he tells himself to take it slowly first. He might need to remind himself a few more times before it sinks in.]
Climb on, then. Use the stirrups if you like. And hang on, around my waist. I hope you're not scared of heights.
[The challenge in his smile makes it clear he doesn't think she'd have agreed to this if she was.]
