BEEEEEE THE BROOOOOOOM!
Charlotte could do that. For sure. She also wasn't one for taking it slow, never had been, and for the record she was GREAT at getting off the ground, less great at landing, but that wasn't important right then! She mounted, gripped the broom and lifted off without giving it much thought, but giving it a massive kick. Not out of experience, rather, out of Gryffindorness.
That was what it had always been, she'd just never known it until the hat had told her so.
"Professor!?" Half question, half exclamation as the thought came to her, "I've seen professional quidditch players, like Kinsley and Odessa and Branxton and Potter and Summers and Montmorency," She could go on, but she had a point to make and very little breath left to do it after all those names, "Just mount their broom like MID stride!" She let go of the broom's handle with one hand, wobbling a bit as she gesticulated for effect, unintentionally practicing this one hand business as the professor had asked, "Like they're walking or running and then POOF! They're ON their broom and zooming!" She didn't quite zoom in demonstration there, but it was like the broom knew she want to and it sort of gave an excited wiggle and quiver beneath her.
"How long does it take to learn how to do THAT?" Yeah! Could they do THAT? She thought probably Henry might be the only one who could, maybe also Vince and Noah, but they also maybe wouldn't have mastered it yet either? Who knew!? It looked SUPER cool and impressive though. Also? There was something kind of ATTRACTIVE about boys doing it. That was probably why all the names she'd mentioned were of the male player variety.
Humm. That was a point, she probably should start paying more attention to the lady players, since she was supposed to be a feminist and all that.
