Hanna had never actually done it without a Bludger coming towards her. Doing it without a bludger might make it scary, and she might second guess her abilities to do it. But really, 5 feet above the ground was easy. That was how tall she almost was. It was high enough to do the manoeuvre safely without hitting her head, but not too high that if she fell it would be from a great distance.
Kicking off, and slowly hovering to about five feet, Hanna took a moment to see what others were doing. She saw Ellie fall and hit the ground, but there was Dorian going to her rescue. And not too far away, her attention caught by the squealing, Hanna flew towards Nina. Quote:

One who was giving her flying instructor a look as if to ask him whether he was REALLY asking them to do such a ridiculous thing. After a few moments of hesitation, the young Slytherin realized that this in fact was not an optional task. And so she RELUCTANTLY mounted her broom, managing to hover at a SAFE distance. But for the record, she hated every single part of this and the displeasure was absolutely apparent on her face. It wasn't fair. Why did her mother seem to think this class was a necessity? It was absolutely ludicrous.
Taking a deep breath, the girl slowly tipped over to the-- "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK," SHE WAS SQUEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALING. And hanging upside down. How did this idiotic broom get turned right side up again, SOS!!!!!!!!! Her pony was literally hanging straight down, as was her head. Fortunately, her grip was quite firm and she did NOT plan on letting go any time soon. "Are you alright there?" Hanna asked. Was she scared? Weak? Having so much fun upside down that she didn't want to move? It was kind of fun.
Hanna gripped the broom tightly, leaned down a little closer, and tipped herself off the side. Except of course she was holding on with her hands and legs, and there she remained. The world was fun upside down, even though it was a bit scary. She remained for a few moments, and then loosened the grip of her top leg, gave it a swing and used the momentum to pull herself right side up again.
