Carpe Diem: Second Year Revision
by Alec6427/NecessaryEvil
Disclaimer: Harry Potter isn't mine and neither are any of the friends of his that were thought up by Ms.Rowling the sick mind that just keeps making Harry's life get worse by the minute. The character that are new to this story are mine, but I approve of fanfic using my characters. Don't you just love me.
A/N: Recent events in my life have effected the course this story is going to take. Both Will Finn and Professor Connors are semi-Martin Sams or what ever you call a male Mary Sue but don't worry all you ppl that don't like OCs taking over the story, Will and his friends will remain mostly secondary characters and I don't know why anyone would have it out for Mary Sue's in particular but like I said he's just in here as the Catalyst and maybe to help in the final battles which will be his fault.
Chapter Nine:
Draconis vs. Slytherin and Surrounding Events
Harry read the newest bulletin on the great hall's bulletin and found the following post:
The following students are now the newest members of the Draconis house:
Bryn, Ember previously of Pearl Academy
Connors, Benjamin previously of Pearl Academy
Duncan, Hermes previously of Siren Study School
Malfoy, Draco formerly of Slytherin
Thomas, Dean formerly of Gryfindor
Two of the other teams were down a player was the good news, the bad news being that Harry wouldn't be trouncing Malfoy in the upcoming Quidditch match which really took some fun out of his training session with Cho.

As it turned out Ember Bryn was a slight and semi-tall red headed sixth year boy with fierce and very strange eyes that held black where there should have been the whites and red irises. Ben Connors was a third year who had blonde and black hair and was Caucasian with surprisingly Asian looking BLUE eyes a strange combination in Harry's experience, as it was he bore a striking resemblance to Professor Connors. Hermes Duncan was a brown haired seventh year around six feet tall with wide shoulders and sunken eyes that looked like they had seen a lot.
Ben came from a family with lots of brothers so he, Ron, Fred, and George hit it off right away complaining about siblings and hand me downs. Ben had a sibling in every other house and one still back a Pearl Academy. His twin Nick was in Slytherin, his youngest brother Logan was in Hufflepuff, his eldest brother Brad was in Gryfindor, and his second youngest brother Liam was in Ravenclaw. Quite a family he had. He and Will seemed to be old friends too, apparently they had grown up together and been best friends since the age of three.
The Draconis house seemed to be growing into a nice big family with the exception to the infuriating git Malfoy who refused to admit that he was in this house. They now also had their second back up beater in Dean and their second back up seeker in Ben. Facts that Harry was sure would come in handy sometime this year.

The day of the Draconis vs. Slytherin match found the entire Draconis team ready to throw their opponents off with more of their quick tricks. The match started promptly at seven. The two teams met on the pitch, the back up players moving off to the sidelines, the team captains shook hands with great venom and then waited for the whistle all the while Lee Jordan was commentating, "And an almost completely new Slytherin team because most of the old gits..."
"Jordan,"
"Sorry Professor. Most of the old team were too chicken to..."
"Jordan"
"Won't happen again Professor. The new Slytherin team made up of Chaser and Captain Marcus Flint, Chaser John Cripes, Chaser Ryley Sumner, Beaters Crabbe and Goyle, Keeper James Avery, and Seeker Nick Connors, and the teams take to the sky Nick trailing Harry immediately,"
Harry looked back and saw that the other Seeker was indeed trailing him, he looked a lot like Ben only his hair was slicked back and his eyebrows were blonde rather than black. Harry turned his eyes from the angry face of his opponent and started looking for the Snitch he wasn't involved in any other strategy for this game.
"Finn with the ball passes it off to Liu just in time as a bludger hit by Crabbe hits him square in the chest, Liu shoots and scores, Draconis up by 10. Chaser Will Finn out of the game his position being taken by his lovely sister Jessica. Chaser Chang with the quaffle passes it to Liu gets it off to Finn just in time as yet another Bludger gets a member of the Draconis team, but Finn pushes on towards the goal getting the quaffle right through the grasp of Slytherin keeper Avery making the score 20 nill in Draconis favor and yet another substitution as Chaser Liu switches out and is replaced by backup Chaser April Levin. Levin with the Quaffle speeds down the field passes it off to Chang shoots score and...wait is that Fred and George both switching out. I guess so Johnson and Thomas coming in their place. More than half of the secondary team out on the field now not looking good for Draconis house even if they are up 30 to nill,"
Harry smiled inwardly not much confidence in us huh. We'll show you what a great training routine we've got. Harry being the vice captain signaled to Madame Hooch to call time out his team huddled, "Alright everyone, Cho switch positions with me, Ron bring in Ernie, Jess switch with Jeremy, April bring in Ben, ready break,"
"And Potter exchanging everyone on his team, Johnson with the quaffle, passes to Connors goes for the goal, no its a pass to Potter zooms in and scores and Draconis keeps their lead 40 to nill. What's this, it looks like Potter is switching the positions again, Potter with the Quaffle passes to Thomas off to Chang back to back with Potter passing it back and forth confusing the Slytherin keeper shot by wait I missed it which one well shot by Draconis, score, 50 to nill, another switch looks like, Ron Weasely taking the field again as Chaser along with Thomas and Levin, Finn and Connors keeping their positions, Beaters Potter and Chang take up their bats, this is one strange match, Chasers passing ceaselessly, beaters batting the bludgers at the Slytherin team, Flint, Cripes, and Sumner out, the game is free range for Draconis now wait both Connors diving they must have seen the snitch which of the two will catch it, they are neck and neck and they both pull up and they both have the snitch, Draconis wins 200 to 150, this is the best Quidditch match I've ever seen,"
The teams landed and the crowd rushed in on the fifteen winners. Every house but Slytherin were not only glad that Slytherin had lost the match but that they had just witnessed the best played game of Quidditch played ever. The Draconis team were heroes.

That night Ben and Will came back last of all and the happiest. They had an announcement they seemed almost like Fred and George as they alternated in their narration,
"We are happy,"
"No ecstatic to announce,"
"That after much convincing,"
"After loads of convincing,"
"Dumbledore has reluctantly,"
"No he's happily agreed,"
"To start up a Coliseum tournament right here at Hogwarts,"
