It wasn't much; one, because he didn't want it to be too much of a shock or worry about what would happen if she did suddenly fall and two, as the additional weight of an actually person was added into the equation, it seemed to have a defined effect on the effort needed to actually lift the target of the hovering spell.
"I don't know..." he answered honestly, but it certainly was intense to keep the spell going and he certainly hoped that they didn't have to keep it up for too long. He kept it going for a minute or two longer and then felt himself start to lose concentration and control over the spell. "Easy...easy does it. I think I'll be setting ye down now," Gideon warned so Stella could prepare herself. In all intents, the prefect was aiming for a smooth descent as much as it had been a smooth ascent but one still had to be careful. And with that he moved his wand lower as if to invisibly guide her back down to the floor, the boy going slowly as best he could.
It really wasn't getting any more comfortable for Stella the longer she was up in the air. Even acknowledging that Gideon hadn't really raised her very far up, and that part of that might have been because she had still been standing when he'd cast the charm, she was still not on the ground anymore. At least she was staying relatively upright, considering she'd seen what had happened to some of the others who had already been on the levitating end of things. Plus, she hadn't fallen yet, which was a testament to her partner's ability at casting the charm. It had to take more focus that it did to levitate smaller objects, after all. In fact, she imagined that was most likely the reason Professor Bellaire was having them levitate each other in the first place. There was no need to complicate things if they were already rather complicated.
She hadn't expected the answer to her question, though, and she'd closed her eyes as another flicker of fear went through her. Either that meant he really didn't know, or it meant she was destined to have to deal with being up here for longer and he just didn't want to tell her that. They'd snapped back open as he'd spoken again, however, realizing that she was going to be set down again. She held her breath as he'd actually started, especially as she felt herself start tipping forward the slightest bit. She didn't want to hurt herself now, not after it had gone relatively well before, and she found herself stretching her toes toward the floor, helping to guide herself to a stop. She collapsed into a sitting position once she'd landed, the fear hitting her yet again full force, but she looked up at him reassuringly to tell him she was okay. "Mmm, that was...," she said after a moment. Good, odd, frightening to no end? She really wasn't sure, but she didn't want to scare him. "Did you want a moment before I try to levitate you?" To prepare, to make any last requests. She was fairly confident she could at least do as well as he had, but she needed to stand up again. So maybe it was more asking to have a moment herself.
