One More Chance 🎆 (A Ben 10 x Harry Potter Crossover)

Chapter 2

End of the school year of 2006

Madison Elementary School.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

That is the sound of a pencil tapping in Ben's school desk.

Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok.

"Come on, Come on!" Ben whispered trying to make the school bell ring while looking at the clock in his classroom.

"And I just want to remind you all that I will be teaching summer school this year. And it's not too late to sign up" The teacher said. Encouraging the students to sign up. *

"Yeah, right" Ben scoffed quietly to himself. And turning his attention to the clock again.

The teacher seems to hear it and if you can see her, she is narrowing her eyes on him.

Before Benjamin shows much improvement in his grades, he was busy daydreaming and drawing like the other kids of his age. Reporting her concern in the parent's meeting, his parents take action on it, though more like his twin did something (she did something).

Well, then he had his grades leveled up by tutoring in the manipula- *ahem*- the persuasion of his little sister. At least he is talented in sports.

The younger Tennyson though Edelweiss, has a talented mind. she is a smart girl if she did an effort to reach her grades higher than what she performing in class. Well, at least she is still excited in sciences and math, does some mistakes at history (she is checking out British websites instead of the American ones)

She does like martial arts.

That's what she heard on the coach and trainer Mr. Han.

On a self-defense level of course.

Quick on her feet, eye determined and strong hand grip, neat eye-hand coordination.

She didn't want to be in the spotlight like most girls.

Ironic

It's quite a surprise to see 10 years old boys or good heavens older years, giving her flowers and gifts to have her attention.

What's funny is that she thought that it's for payment of the baked goods her mother makes.

She didn't realize that she was the Number#1 crush in Bellwood.

What's even more surprising is that the girl population likes her because of her skills and influence. Instead of shunning her.

Most of their bullies backed off not just for her skills but the fact that she did not back down when anyone is in danger of bullying even when they are all bruised up defending. Something most of the faculty tried to stop a long time ago. She is the one who broke the tension with the racism some kids tend to have at the time. Surprisingly its Cash Murray settles their middle ground about that discrimination.

And also, her braiding skill. You can see the girls all lined up the stairs trying to get their hair done by her before classes start, she even teaches how to braid hair. The older girls also participate because it is the only time that was peaceful and relaxing from their studies.

And chatting with them, not gossip mind you. She listens to anyone and a good judge of character. She didn't like the word gossip because it is bugging her.

The charming kid.

At the end of the day, she is the SWEETHEART of Bellwood.

Teacher Jennifer looked to the other side of the classroom. She sees Edelweiss hunched on her desk seems to be pasting stickers on her Journal.

'Seems she is working on her summer journal'.

Tik. Tik. Riiiiiinnngggg!

When the bell rings all the students pack their items in their bags and exited the door.

" YES! OUTTA HERE!" Ben exclaimed pushing his desk rushed to-

"Del! Hurry up!"

Ben started packing his sister's stuff in her bag. Books, pencils, crayons, glue (he makes sure that it's closed this time.), and he was about to grab more stuff when Edelweiss lightly slaps Ben's hand.

"Ben! I can handle myself!"

"But it's SUMMERRRR !"

Del rolled her eyes as she tied her light blue jacket wrapped on her waist.

Well, it is starting to get hot.

The 10-year-old girl grabs the bag and her skateboard as Ben dragged her to the door.

It's quite funny how Ben's hell was the school. He was dragged by Dad years ago when he didn't want to ride the bus.

But over his behavior, his actions are quite subtle if you look closely.

When bullied by Cash and Ben's Best former friend JT. He always had the upper-hand when they bully Ben and most of the time got them intentionally caught whether it's the teacher or principal.

Whenever he is upset , they always bond through reading comic books out loud. Even if Del didn't like the comics. She does think Ben is a good storyteller. He does care about her. And she loves her twin for it.

Sure, he's a little bratty, and immature. But above all that Ben is the best brother anyone can ask for. He cares about the people he loves and gives himself to protect them from getting hurt.

And also, he likes the competition of being the 'better' twin.

He like athletic sports, she likes her feet on the wheel.

He likes chocolate, she likes fruit but not...no... NEVER going to deny good cup cocoa especially if it was made by him (It's Ben's Best Bribe).

He likes game consoles, well she likes... Hm... She doesn't like dolls, but she does find drawing relaxing.

If he is a Sumo Slammer Fan, she is more like a Ninja- Kunoichi Fan.

Ninja always wins. Period. No offense for the wrestlers.

Both of them reached the door with Teacher Jennifer's parting words

" Everyone have a good vacation, And I hope I will see you all again in the Fall"

She was about today more when-

"Have a great to summer too, Miss Jennifer!" Del waved goodbye before following her brother out with his (yes Ben's) bag again.

"Kids" Jennifer scoffed as she settled to the desk cleaning up.

Now she remembers why she liked to be a teacher.
