This takes place after the climax of Ben 10: Alien force and beginning of Ultimate Alien. Ben isn't world famous in this story. I never liked how the reveal happened anyways. However just because the disaster didn't happen here doesn't mean it will never happen. But in future books. Not this one
In Harry Potter Universe, This is set in Chamber of Secrets.
An owl landed open window, carrying two messages. Gwen was the one to let it in. She informed Ben and Aunt Sandra right away. The nearly 16- year-old boy was previously busy with a new video game he bought, He and Kevin were playing as two player and it took his mother's infamous death glare for him and Kevin to listen. All four of them stared at one another, then at their letters. Gwen smiled, She knew about the existence of wizarding world for a very long time. But didn't she already took a correspondence course at Friendkin Institute of Sorcery? The letter can't be for her. She shrugged, and opened hers up. The wielder of newfound Ultimatrix studied his.
"To Ben Tennyson , 24 king street, Bellwood," read the envelope. He could not imagine who had sent it, try though he did. Finally he opened the letter. "Dear Mr. Tennyson, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Due to various circumstances, your magical training has been delayed somewhat, but that will not be a problem. We are confident that with basic tutoring this summer, you will be able to start school as a second year, with other students roughly three or four years younger than your own age. It's just a minor inconvenience but let me promise you, It will be worth it. You would need to report to the castle of Hogwarts on June 15. Enclosed is your list of all necessary books and equipment. . ." Ben had read this three times before his cousin spoke.
"This letter informs me that magic actually exists...
"I know that very well Gwen. But do magical schools actually exists?" Ben dumbfounded. Gwen responded with a smile.
"Well , How else do you think I got so much better in all this years? They do exist Benjy. But not everyone goes to them. There are other ways to learn magic too. I am doing a correspondence course myself with my major in Magical Artifacts and Protection against Dark Arts!"
Ben nodded and Gwen continued from where she left off.
"You are a wizard, and that wizards and witches have been in the Tennyson line since its beginnings. They want you to attend wizards' school cause Aunt Sandra is British thus you can get into an English Wizarding school." Gwen concluded
"That's quite strange, I never thought about seeing stuff like that. That sounds good Ben. You always wanted to learn something else which could lessen your dependence on Omnitrix!" Sandra spoke out of curiosity and excitement.
"It's actually Ultimatrix Mom!" Ben corrected his mother , He quickly turned to Gwen, "What do you think, Gwen ?"
"Seems authentic to me !. . ."
"You know what? So can I." Ben looked thoughtful for a moment. "But what I meant was, what do you think about studying there? Should I do that? Besides If I can really do magic, Who can teach me better than you?"
" It will be a new experience Ben. Who knows you may even like it! You could use a break after the nasty break up with Julie after all. " Kevin suggested with a grin "Look at some of the things you'd be studying! Potions, Charms, Herbology, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts. . . oh my such fancy words! Wouldn't you like to learn how to transform metals into Gold?"
"Geez! Is Money the only thing on your mind?" Ben groaned
"Ah!Show me the Money Tennyson!" Kevin chuckled jokingly, Giving his best Jerry McGuire imitation. However, After some serious thinking Gwen finally decided to respond.
"You should try it! It's good to learn from actual teachers and at a real school!" Gwen remarked in a firm tone
Her letter described a place where they could get all his school supplies: Diagon Alley. It gave instructions how to get there. They would start by acquiring his first year supplies for the summer.
"You three should go to London this weekend, then," Mrs. Tennyson decided happily.
"All?" Ben tried to hide his dismay, "I can handle myself on my own. I saved the world remember!"
"You sound so grown up, Benjy! Of course, you always have. But I never thought my baby will be boarding away in a whole another country! " His mother appeared to be teary eyed.
"I will be sixteen in a few months, Mom!" Ben shrugged. Kevin had started snickering by now.
"Of course which means you need to clean your room before you leave!" She responded in a stern tone. This time Gwen was the one who started laughing
Ben shuddered. Crap! He totally forgot about it.

The two days before this outing Gwen had spent investigating every possible source regarding witches, wizards, and Hogwarts School, and had come up with quite a bit of information regarding magic theories, Diagon Alley, Gringotts Bank, the Ministry of Magic, Albus Dumbledore, purebloods, Muggles, the school and its founders, a bloke called the Boy Who Lived, and a wizard tyrant called the Dark Lord, He Who Must Not Be Named, Voldemort. Frankly , The two boys were rather amused to learn about all this.
Of course , Ben was also a whole lot surprised to find out about Wizarding news papers. It was He'd discovered to his extreme dismay that most forms of technology wouldn't work at Hogwarts-cell phones, computers, not even electricity! He'd almost changed his mind about going, until a call from Azimuth confirmed that the Ultimatrix won't be affected by something lowly such as earth magic. The creator of Omnitrix seemed rather angry at Ben doubting Galvan technology in the first place. Anyways Gwen promised to encase the technology with her own magic so that the circuits inside remain unharmed and Ben could successfully use stuff as Laptops, Smartphone, Plumber's Badge etc.
Gwen had already made arrangements to convert their currency into Galleons at the American Wizarding bank. Besides a few aliens worked in there so it was a whole lot smoother. Ben was kinda tired after signing somewhat hundred forms but in the end that was worth it. The coins were kinda hard to carry but Gwen's magical bag, Which was enchanted in the same way Charmcaster's was came in handy. Ben was kinda fascinated by the moving brick wall and thought about adding something similar to the local plumber's base.
Now they were all striding along, trying not to look like they were gawking.
"Ooh! Look at that! The pictures move!" Ben cried in excitement.
Well, a few of them were.
"Woah! Look at the the robes!" Kevin chuckled "And the pointy hats!... That's funny man!"
A couple turned around. "Are you insulting our hats?"
"No, That's just kinda funky and all that!" Kevin remarked casually
The couple shook their heads and walked away. A large, bulky man stopped and sneered at the group. "How did Muggle get in here? We're not a tourist attraction!"
Kevin frowned, He had no idea what the term muggle meant but he didn't like the tone of that guy. From what he understood that seemed to be more like N word or F word back home.
"Dude, Take a chill pill. No need to get worked up over it!"
The man laughed. It was not a nice laugh. However before he could step closer Gwen was already between them. She had grabbed the man's arm, twisted him around, and suplexed him before throwing him against a wall. Ben flinched, It was quite painful.
"Remind me to never mess with her!" Kevin whispered
"Only if you promise to do the same." Ben responded back with a smile.
Everyone in the neighborhood stopped to watch, Most of them appearing amused. It seemed that the culprit wasn't much popular himself. However from a corner of the street more people were rushing towards them. All of them having glowing sticks in their palms.
Ben pulled up his sleeve, Only to be stopped by Gwen. "It's not the right place or time to get into that sort of battle. We should make ourselves scarce.!"
And just like that, A pink gust of wind started swirling around the trio and they vanished into a puff of smoke. Just like that.

Gwen took a look at the books and seemed terribly disappointed. Of course, It was very hard to meet her standards. She became a master sorceress at the age of fifteen. Which was too much even by Wizarding world's standards. Besides Gwen had always been fascinated with knowledge. She always wanted promising secrets to be revealed to her. What would there be to do besides read, anyway? Well, According to her anyways.
She insisted on Ben must using her notes and recommended materials for study. Ben shivered at hearing this but once she had made up her mind nothing can shake her off. Not even her boyfriend. After getting a Uniform for him, They straightly went to the wands shop. Ben was pretty unhappy about getting in school once again. But he was kinda curious about Hogwarts place so he had no other choice but to tag along with the plan. They bought his cauldron, and his other equipment, and a tawny yellow owl that Ben had named Ishiyama. . Both of them dragged Kevin away from the kittens and out of the store
Seriously, What was with the Levin and pets? He went batshit crazy around them.
"Why do you need an Owl? Can't we buy a cute kitten?" Kevin argued for the eleventh time
"NO!" Ben denied vehemently.
"We don't need a kitten Kevin. I am allergic to cats!" Gwen glared at her boyfriend causing him to shrink.
"It's alright honey. Anything you say!" Kevin responded begrudgingly. While Ben made a whopping notion behind his back. The former criminal narrowed down his eyes, Tennyson must pay back for this. He won't let this slide just like that. Ben threw him a smug grin indicating that he was welcome to try. Gwen didn't pay much heed to do that, This was just another Wednesday to her.
Soon, They walked inside a shop called the Olivanders. It was a very small and quite place. Even Ben was awed and silent. Everyone felt the air was quite thick. It was like a hallowed feeling washing over them.
A man came out from the back, from the multitude of piled boxes. "Greetings," he said.
"Good afternoon. We need a wand for our friend here" Kevin said, Pointing towards Ben.
The man came to stand just in front of Ben, Scanning him carefully. "Hold out your wand arm, please."
Ben scrutinized him, Not liking the way this old man was stepping inside his personal space. Mr. Ollivander proceeded to magically measure him. "Every wand has a core of a magical substance," he told him. "No two wands are alike. You always get the best results with your own wand. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix feathers, and dragon heartstrings. And various types of wood."
Mr. Ollivander dug around the boxes, then set a few on the counter. "Try this one. Maple and phoenix feather. Seven inches. Quite whippy."
Ben took it in his hand and looked at it.
"Give it a wave," The shopkeeper instructed.
Ben did as he was instructed . A chip of wood thunked out of the counter. Ollivander snatched the wand back. "No. Rowan and unicorn hair, ten inches. Try it."
Ben barely had it in his hand when the man took it back. "No, no. Try this one. Ash and unicorn hair, nine inches."
Gwen and Kevin watched bemusedly as Ben waved around various wands. Mr. Ollivander never seemed to grow discouraged, he simply kept coming up with boxes after boxes.
"What's supposed to happen?" Kevin whispered.
Gwen shrugged. She never needed a wand in the first place so she had no idea.
Wand number seven was "Oak and Dementors heartstring, nice and flexible. Eight and a half inches. One doesn't generally see Dementors heartstrings mixed with anything. No one managed to use it in thousand of years. Perhaps you may succeed where others failed , Go on, try it."
When Ben took it in his hand, he knew. There was a tingling that started in his fingers and ran up to his elbow, making his heart beat harder as he raised the wand and gave it a swish. Sparks crackled from the tip of it and rained down like water, reflecting blue and gold on the counter and the walls, and Ben's eyes.
"Cool!" Kevin exclaimed.
"Amazing!" Gwen awes in surprise
"Very good, very good!" the old man seemed delighted as well. So did Ben Tennyson and his friends.
"What was your name, young man?" Ollivander asked as Gwen paid for the wand.
"Ben Tennyson"
"Tennyson," the man repeated. "As in Lord Georgious De Gaunt from Tennessy?"
This time Gwen was the one to come up with the answer "Yes. He was our Ancestor"
"He was an extra ordinary wizard, Grandson of the Salazar Slytherin. My grandfather had to create a special wand for him . I was a child at that time but I still remember him. Willow and dementor heartstring, twelve inches. He did many great things in his life time . He performed countless extra ordinary feats. He was so much powerful that people can't figure out whether he was a human or a God. He defeated many dark Wizards, Went up against his very own grandfather and killed him when it became inevitable that his Grandfather won't change. He vanquished vicious creatures who Wizards thought as invincible, Sealed the great demon Lord called Diagon...some believe he still walks the Earth. Guarding the tomb of the very demon he slayed. He wielded a very powerful weapon called Ascalon. So much powerful that no earthly weapon from past and future can match it's might. People said not even thousands of killing curse could cause any bodily harm to wielder of Ascalon Dark Wizards referred to him as death while ordinary people referred to him as George. Saint George of Tennessee. Most powerful warrior to ever exist. This wand chose you just like it's brother chose Georgious many years ago. That can't be just coincidence. You are meant for far greater things than you can even think in your wildest dreams. Someday You will become a legend in this world! "
"How could you remember him?" Gwen frowned. "He lived during the 11th century."
"Ah, my dear lady," Ollivander retorted with a grin, "I'm older than I seem."
"That's pretty old," Kevin said frankly, staring at him hard.
"It's getting late, Benjy, let's go." Gwen plucked at his sleeve . Not really interested in spending any more time in this gloomy place
"Okay okay, We are leaving!" he replied absent-mindedly, looking partly at the man and partly at his wand. Then he smiled. "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Ben Tennyson!"
This is a What if story of A Plumber amongst Wizards. However here Ben and Harry aren't related. I hope you like it
Does this mean Ben and Gwen are living heirs of Slytherin. Yep! Wicked, Right?
Which house Ben should be in? Gryffindor or Slytherin?
