"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 item375Please respect copyright.PENANAdP36eQl7Vl
375Please respect copyright.PENANAqni1SdnOry
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her375Please respect copyright.PENANAQTDfKgj4Qn
375Please respect copyright.PENANA9YydcKAahN
"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 second375Please respect copyright.PENANA1L791a3yun
375Please respect copyright.PENANAvQyORExc3t
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"375Please respect copyright.PENANAPDXTM1vRqC
375Please respect copyright.PENANAYb6T6euxgd
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 movie375Please respect copyright.PENANAOscnmFTIAB
375Please respect copyright.PENANAIOizBqaCiz
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 body375Please respect copyright.PENANAf0fdM4WBYv
375Please respect copyright.PENANAxo43hLsYJU
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?375Please respect copyright.PENANAIEzpt8Aqgk
375Please respect copyright.PENANAIVYpkGEuGe
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 bed375Please respect copyright.PENANAPmQjw6geP6
375Please respect copyright.PENANANRpwOyF5eT
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 time375Please respect copyright.PENANAXNgJhck1Rb
375Please respect copyright.PENANARXGL8kkJWt
"Ah, shit!" She screamed375Please respect copyright.PENANAFskjhM2c57
375Please respect copyright.PENANAcvv6TYgboa
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 shoes375Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ3JhV3QsS
375Please respect copyright.PENANA1imYsKqowV
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 good375Please respect copyright.PENANAtcSXKqv50f
375Please respect copyright.PENANAkq3OpfjgFq
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 tardiness375Please respect copyright.PENANA6flXw0rrnU
375Please respect copyright.PENANACe8uGVtejK
Alex cursed when the bell rang 375Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0fBGzqGxj
375Please respect copyright.PENANAhV4nW3neQO
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 sure375Please respect copyright.PENANAlwGc7Gm9Cw
375Please respect copyright.PENANAm44prk0GWu
Was there something she could do?375Please respect copyright.PENANAvol8QYXeNZ
375Please respect copyright.PENANAHqY7Jyebok
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 sun375Please respect copyright.PENANAwRahYCsqgj
375Please respect copyright.PENANAnS3wVTvVKn
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams375Please respect copyright.PENANAHr2wZK99vC
375Please respect copyright.PENANAPuSaPakTzm
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 face375Please respect copyright.PENANAEsY5HqDAb4
375Please respect copyright.PENANAsh2BWMNu80
So it was real?375Please respect copyright.PENANAKRsYw861Yo
375Please respect copyright.PENANAUBKWaqXSlj
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan375Please respect copyright.PENANA1vRWCKejWv
375Please respect copyright.PENANA8YhsUlQFG8
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 her375Please respect copyright.PENANAhSNOHWaaqr
375Please respect copyright.PENANACbtlepP1cE
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work375Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Dk5hKvEw
375Please respect copyright.PENANAFNneIu6fJZ
But it was worth the shot375Please respect copyright.PENANA8bwpXe8Iz7
375Please respect copyright.PENANAsGaahXXxAk
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 way375Please respect copyright.PENANAV2UKwgeae4
375Please respect copyright.PENANAG28708pRrU
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 trip375Please respect copyright.PENANATHlvXnRxuG
375Please respect copyright.PENANAHpGiSVkz6u
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief375Please respect copyright.PENANAsNbgAdnRY5
375Please respect copyright.PENANAhNWyE3x7tz
375Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cx34SqDzL
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 floor375Please respect copyright.PENANAtRncVo7Mp1
375Please respect copyright.PENANAmtfeyLKawZ
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work375Please respect copyright.PENANAyBrBb2mfzC
375Please respect copyright.PENANAszpiFmY2xf
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANA91YX0uVBSU
375Please respect copyright.PENANAcg8kb9MuMF
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAIPtvDgv0Kt
375Please respect copyright.PENANAKj7zhKf6cr
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAPNwqZ0Ises
375Please respect copyright.PENANAa8zQgFZti4
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAjPkLEZZTMi
375Please respect copyright.PENANAhZZz154BHw
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAR1g7Acikih
375Please respect copyright.PENANAacXpLZztZ2
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.375Please respect copyright.PENANAJe84Rf1MXw
375Please respect copyright.PENANAazJISnrFQJ
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 cloak375Please respect copyright.PENANAcYlWez1E1N
375Please respect copyright.PENANAPrrQ3Vi311
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdlxRw01srG
375Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y3nUGMVVR
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAk5R2OLoKAu
375Please respect copyright.PENANAqNYdfJcC7U
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANABNeuytQIeO
375Please respect copyright.PENANABkZ6yMyQCw
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAzVqp65WQY8
375Please respect copyright.PENANARQgw73QoCy
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up375Please respect copyright.PENANAlDrrhjusQG
375Please respect copyright.PENANAGxIEXTVH9m
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.375Please respect copyright.PENANAiGcAS93C8m
375Please respect copyright.PENANAtr3xWy2qTS
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.375Please respect copyright.PENANAfRGMBD0SO5
375Please respect copyright.PENANAHt5OASp8JQ
"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."375Please respect copyright.PENANAeKjwWGtslh
