Pavel watched as Cynthia smoothly took off after and hit a bludger with full force towards the Indian team.
Spotting the bludger coming from one pretty looking Nila Deep that was aimed at Lamberto and the others Pavel quickly chased after it. A loud smack was heard through the stadium as he his bat connected with the bludger that was sent back in the direction of the Indian National team players.
Intercepting another bludger he hit his bat on it so hard that it flung towards Raju Misra and the quaffle in his hands. Hopfully it did it job so the guy dropped it into England hands.

ZIP ZIP ZIPZIP ZAG ZAAAAAAAAAAG ZIP! The snitch escaped the hand of the English seeker and darted over the crowd in sharp zigzag formation, flying diagonally for a time before making a sharp and jagged turn in the opposite direction. It's golden surface still catching the sunlight juuuuuuuuuust right as it soared above the crowd.
Everything happened so quickly. First, the bludger connected with her outstretched wrist, causing Nyx to yell out in a rare burst of emotion as she was veered off course. Her eyes widened in panic as she looked over at Meera, who...let out a yell as well, nearly crashing in to her before the snitch flew away in the blink of an eye.
That snitch was a slippery little thing. Had they charmed it to be extra evasive? Eyes watering slightly, mostly due to her injured wrist, she looked down and let out a sigh. Her entire wrist guard had been thrown from her, and was probably now on the ground somewhere. She started to make her way to the ground, eyes still looking around in front of her. Yes, she needed to catch the snitch - but she also needed to NOT break her wrist in the process.
Thankfully, her wrist guard was easy to pick out as she swooped down to the field, and she scooped it up before rising back up into the air. She paused as she hovered over the players, trying to recalibrate and figure out where everyone was on the field. Honestly, she had no clue what the score was. She located both bludgers - for safety purposes, of course - before resuming her hunt for the snitch, strapping her wrist guard back on.
A few moments later...she noticed something glittering just over the head of her teammate Pavel, who was swooping around the field, focusing on his own portion of the game. It then fluttered above the crowd, glittering brightly as it flew over their heads. Could she really be that lucky?! Or was it another pocket watch disaster waiting to happen? She was not waiting around to have Meera find out. Flexing her wrist a few times - it was probably just going to be bruised, no harm done - she then gripped her broom and TOOK OFF.
She soared over all the players, focusing on the glittering orb she saw flying over the crowd. Yes, this had to be it. It HAD to...
Hand outstretched, she followed the snitch through the air and soared down upon it She held out her injured hand, hoping to feel the cool feel of metal in her palm. Come on, third time's the charm...
