"An invisibility cloak?" Alex held up the cloak at arm's length, turning it over and over. The carpet of her room tickled her feet. She tilted her head, gray eyes inspecting the item359Please respect copyright.PENANA4rzIW0MbyG
359Please respect copyright.PENANAS4r3YKoeSB
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her359Please respect copyright.PENANApDKvcWYyXp
359Please respect copyright.PENANAi2fUleUh0P
"Am I dreaming right now?" Alex scowled at him. She pinched her cheek. She winced. The insant pain felt real, alright. She couldn't bear it for more than a second359Please respect copyright.PENANAsX6vYbWvBh
359Please respect copyright.PENANA69FCKscMQF
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"359Please respect copyright.PENANAWyajMKCpwG
359Please respect copyright.PENANA7eADBsvr4y
She found her room to be empty. Did she just imagine the whole thing? Lifting up the cloak again, she wrapped it around her shoulders—like how Harry did in the movie359Please respect copyright.PENANALJRBGLcdcG
359Please respect copyright.PENANAyJxZlrqyWv
A muffled scream escaped her lips. She stepped back and hit her bed, stumbling until she landed on the floor. She laid on her back, her heart hammering in her chest. Her brown fringes covered her vision. She blew them away, tilting her head to check on her body359Please respect copyright.PENANABMkXBDbEl3
359Please respect copyright.PENANAVtTEmHTAfG
It wasn't there. Just like how she saw earlier when she first wore the cloak. Her eyes widened in surprise. How could this be possible? Did she really just see Harry Potter?359Please respect copyright.PENANA7eK7UrC5uW
359Please respect copyright.PENANAGBSYhiQ9C2
Or had she gone slightly insane? She stood up, shaking her head. Whatever it was. It was the middle of the night and she had school in the next day. She stuffed the cloak in her bag and went back to bed359Please respect copyright.PENANAMsMyNls9bR
359Please respect copyright.PENANAliMSLVtM7W
When morning came, Alex woke up with a gasp. She remembered snoozing the first of her five alarms. She tapped on the bed for her phone and checked the time359Please respect copyright.PENANAjIbkXjaWlp
359Please respect copyright.PENANAaEw9mSMzPs
"Ah, shit!" She screamed359Please respect copyright.PENANA510NKK78uq
359Please respect copyright.PENANAhjiZ9deJ3t
Getting up, she ran to the bathroom for the quickest shower in her life. She took the first clothing items her hands found and wore them, wrinkles and all. She didn't bother to check on her pixie cut hair. She reached her bag and her skateboard instead, bolting out of the room with untied shoes359Please respect copyright.PENANAbLIqo0Q1Zl
359Please respect copyright.PENANAG4fLxejCqD
The small wheels rolled down the pavement. Alex kicked when necessary, bringing up the speed. The wind dried her hair and made her hoodie flutter. Her mind calculated the time of her arrival. It didn't look good359Please respect copyright.PENANAdOobb21TU2
359Please respect copyright.PENANACoFdGcbqLc
She bit her bottom lip as the school gates appeared within reach. Some of the student council members stood at each post, checking on the dress code and tardiness359Please respect copyright.PENANA8m5p8i6V3T
359Please respect copyright.PENANAl1UcFo12CF
Alex cursed when the bell rang 359Please respect copyright.PENANAhEERextSGR
359Please respect copyright.PENANAyCdzDOPsOA
How loud was that? She could hear it all the way from her spot. Not wanting to receive a late slip, she stopped by a nearby shop and hid in the alleway. If she got one more of those things, her parents would ground her for sure359Please respect copyright.PENANAnUFwdCHejQ
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5C3or8FUho
Was there something she could do?359Please respect copyright.PENANA8jqJIVq6vh
359Please respect copyright.PENANAZzVKxlxp8z
The zipper of her bag fully opened. Its contents fell on the floor. Alex looked at them in alarm. She crouched and collected her things. She must have forgotten to lock it properly. Her hands paused on a cloak. It sprawled on the pavement, the frabric glistening under the sun359Please respect copyright.PENANAYijWJxSzdu
359Please respect copyright.PENANALMLVNK9xfi
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams359Please respect copyright.PENANARqI6RlKwmP
359Please respect copyright.PENANAxlvpnDRj9x
Moving slowly, she slipped her hand under cloak. Every inch of the fabric disappeared and camouflaged against the pavement. She pulled her hand back, blood draining off her face359Please respect copyright.PENANAUuBexfrF0x
359Please respect copyright.PENANACwpLBt7ObE
So it was real?359Please respect copyright.PENANAVOJUPa25FT
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJeR3nLJsR5
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan359Please respect copyright.PENANAb6vi50pDSZ
359Please respect copyright.PENANANWJb04vRlS
With greath stealth, she wore the straps of her bag behind her and hugged her skateboard close to her chest. A few meters stood between her and the student council. The cloak rested on her head and fell around her359Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ2LBWBPcf
359Please respect copyright.PENANA54hxMC4To4
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work359Please respect copyright.PENANAiLF6YmfxQe
359Please respect copyright.PENANAqgi2M3T2cO
But it was worth the shot359Please respect copyright.PENANAgF6rAZIz37
359Please respect copyright.PENANA3YEVROKvST
She used quick and light steps to avoid the sound her shoes made when it scraped the pavement. She stopped at every meter she managed to achieve, checking if someone noticed. When she came closer, she lifted the heels of her feet and tiptoed the rest of the way359Please respect copyright.PENANAdCe1iyJFxw
359Please respect copyright.PENANATMazFuvVLy
The student council chattered among themselves even when she stood two feet away. She debated if she should make a beeline for it. Then, decided against it since she could trip359Please respect copyright.PENANAQAEVYaOXFw
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJD5teOZ8I4
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief359Please respect copyright.PENANAGXKRFqo6Wt
359Please respect copyright.PENANAj9LlVg4v8H
359Please respect copyright.PENANAFYXLJhCPY6
The cloak passed the test but the main entrance was at a good distance. Running was still out of the question. She checked her feet. The cloak was big enough for an inch of its hem to lay flat on the floor359Please respect copyright.PENANArULXJMFyYk
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8TfGkyPyvZ
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work359Please respect copyright.PENANAUWMRE4hU9q
359Please respect copyright.PENANAKPBoKaPDsP
She lifted her skateboard, using it to raise the fabric in front of her. Now, she had more room to move her feet. She quickened her pace and aimed for the entrance. The school let it stayed open for 15 mins after the bell rang for late students to come in.359Please respect copyright.PENANAdDePmxF5L8
359Please respect copyright.PENANA39BmP3eTeH
When she reached it, a soft squeal escaped her lips. The adrenaline of the adventure trembled her nerves in excitement. She could actually make it all the way to the classroom. She checked her phone for the time. Then, her homeroom teacher appeared around the corner.359Please respect copyright.PENANAZylsygk0c8
359Please respect copyright.PENANAay5qP4qvpD
She yelped and took the first corridor on her right. It wasn't the easiest route to the room but that one would be used by her teacher. If she wanted to run, she needed to be out sight for no one to hear her shoes. 359Please respect copyright.PENANAjwYVNBdEtR
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8j3b2zOV9j
Still in a crouch, she didn't hold back and ran. She made several turns. Each one held importance or she'd find herself in another part of the building. Her arms began to feel numb and so did her knees. Nonetheless, she pumped her legs to move faster. 359Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ranMTAID
359Please respect copyright.PENANAme7lubKYMP
A surge of delight lifted her spirits when she saw the door to the classroom opened by a janitor. He probably did a last minute cleaning. His eyes shifted in her direction swiftly, landing behind her.359Please respect copyright.PENANArBClZ9s6Ci
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAe0mPdjQkm
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.359Please respect copyright.PENANAa2F9LAWBAq
359Please respect copyright.PENANArGkSjq7e3t
Alex headed straight for the door as it closed slowly. She managed to slip inside, narrowly missing the knob. She fell on her stomach with the skateboard raised over her head. She pulled her legs close to her torso, making sure they're under the cloak359Please respect copyright.PENANA7RHzrDGhie
359Please respect copyright.PENANABLT0bts1De
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 359Please respect copyright.PENANApM4s8XYqto
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8f0oqtTDUm
She wiggled on the floor like a worm. Then, she took a chance and placed her skateboard underneath her stomach. The faint voices of the janitor and her homeroom teacher came through the door.359Please respect copyright.PENANAm61RSCeVTo
359Please respect copyright.PENANA9nmjM1DMb8
Using her hands, she kicked the floor and rolled towards the back. The wheels scraped the floor, creating a soft scratchy sound. Anyone who glanced her way saw nothing. It didn't really matter since she already passed them by before they looked.359Please respect copyright.PENANAgW1lLR2TTe
359Please respect copyright.PENANAdkBVxbnpuK
Once she reached her seat, she crouched behind it and rested the skateboard against the backrest. She took off the cloak, stuffing it in her bag, and pretended to check the wheels.359Please respect copyright.PENANA8DTNPuJUnr
359Please respect copyright.PENANADOarXEMRsF
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up359Please respect copyright.PENANAl5tXyYqX1q
359Please respect copyright.PENANAsSDR8ylRCE
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.359Please respect copyright.PENANASNtj8vo9Bu
359Please respect copyright.PENANAYnpaYeuYCo
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.359Please respect copyright.PENANAkemmyXKSaw
359Please respect copyright.PENANAGgu34VhFp6
"What do you mean, Logan?" She snorted, "I was here minutes ago. I just needed to take off the hairs from the wheels of my skateboard."359Please respect copyright.PENANAfuKpxGcoU4
