Just seeing people flying about was giving her a bit of anxiety...and why she had yet to actually attend one of Cassius quidditch matches. Although the chance to do so now felt like it had entirely slipped away from her...
"Hmmmmmm?" she squeaked, looking over at Hattie. "Oh...I...um..." she muttered, the weight of Genny's foot on her thigh silencing her for a moment. "I'm not terrible keen on..heights..." Unlke Genny who looked as though she could be shot out of a rocket and hurtled across the quidditch pitch all the while wearing a giddy smile on her face. But that was Gryffindors for you.
..........and now she was looking at the seventh year. Oh hopping holly...
"You look good up there, Genny," she said, giving two thumbs up before being nudged in the arm firmly by the aethonan who was now seeking the carrot in her pocket - which she then gave to him, of course.

"Thanks! You should've seen me ride that sheep in the common room." That was challenging, especially with Ace and Terry riling it up more. "Hi Hattie, see it isn't that ba-AAAAD" The horse neighed and shook his pretty hair violently taking Genny by surprise...
... which led her to do the first instinctive thing. She tightened her legs around its torse and hung onto his neck just as he started to outstretch his wings (probably knocking the two bystanders to the ground), "Whoaaa!!" There was a momentarily look of terror on Genny as the Aethonan quickly shifted from eating peacefully to excessively flapping his wings and starting to charge forward-- her wide eyes quickly went back to normal and she continued to grin foolishly as the horse ascended from the ground into the sky. Needless to say, her posture was all wrong because she was practically lying on the horse's back.
Hattie was still super bummed that she couldn't fly. It looked really cool, and she was feeling jealous. But the winged horse was really cool. She was just glad to be up close, and able to stroke and pet. It was pretty, and she wanted one. She didn't quite think that her mother would allow her to have one. Surely if she wasn't allowed a Kneazle, she really wouldn't be allowed a winged horse.
"You look really good up there!" She murmured as she looked up at Genny. She kind of wanted to sit on the horse too, but she was worried that if it might go flying. And she didn't want that to happen. So she was going to stay night and on the floor now. It was a lot safer here.
She blinked though, finding herself on the floor suddenly.
"What in merlins...." She mumbled, pushing her way up into a seated position. She blinked as she watched Genny go off into the sky. Well. That was that.
"Guess you're not gonna fly Paige..." Since they were both still here.
"And.... she doesn't seem to have a very good posture. I hope she doesn't fall off"
