The pain in her arm was blinding whenever she moved wrong. It was useless now for throwing and handling the quaffle so she just gripped the broom with it as she caught the quaffle again with her other arm. She wasn't confident about making another shot, but this was practice anyway.
Finally, finally, when Ignatius was able to fully turn his attention away from the bludgers, he spotted a glint of gold and headed straight for it. His fingers clenched around the snitch, and he waved it around in pride. It was about time.
"Congratulations Iggy!" Sunny called out when he caught the snitch before she whacked a bludger at him. Unfortunately it went wide and hit Vanity instead, which Sunny was not disappointed about.
Vanity shouted in anger when Sunny's stupid bludger hit her. She hated that little sh*t. She tried to hit it back at her, but it went off course and hit the seeker instead. Might have put a damper on him finally catching the snitch, but Vanity didn't care.
It was honestly about time that the seeker got the snitch. Unfortunately, the captain wasn't quite done with practice. She tried to score again, and she was unsurprised that her shot fell short of her target.
Sunny tried to whack another bludger at Vanity because it was fun, but her aim was off and it hit the chaser with the quaffle instead. She shrugged, a hit was still a hit.
Ignatius let go of the snitch again, letting it fly off and trying to right himself. His eyes stung with unshed tears but he couldn't start sobbing in front of the others. The girls could smell fear.
