Pavel winced inwardly as he heard and saw for his own eyes how Anand’s bludger made a harsh connection with Nyx’s wrist guard. Ooof, that had to hurt her wrist! He was not within shouting distance so he could only think what he wanted to shout to his teammate that was chasing the golden snitch with Meera on her tail.

Back to bludger focus Pavel watched how one of the bludger scraping the top of Anand’s ear before the Indian zoomed after it. He changed the grip on his beater bat, stealing a glance over at Cynthia shouting ”Shall we tag team?” when he noticed Leonitus bludger predicament and then for some reason the bludger changed it’ss course. What was going on with these balls? Had Cynthia and the referee seen?

Leaning forward on his broom Pavel sped down the pitch towards the bludger that had left Leonitus and when he came within beating distance he whacked it in the direction of Malaviya again. If England was to ever get the first goal of the game then the Indian keeper had to have her focus elsewhere…

Flying near Leonitus that now had the quaffle Pavel kept himself alert for oncoming bludgers and ready to defend his teammates.
