"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 item360Please respect copyright.PENANAxe1MYzRLe0
360Please respect copyright.PENANAzmDl3UKTXJ
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her360Please respect copyright.PENANAk5liB1rs2S
360Please respect copyright.PENANAYLqKpJJjnO
"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 second360Please respect copyright.PENANAxlC9QUSoGo
360Please respect copyright.PENANAlzhD6Uyb4M
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"360Please respect copyright.PENANA30i9fRAPAM
360Please respect copyright.PENANA0I1jwTKk6z
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 movie360Please respect copyright.PENANAepmCtA317f
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjBVEzEKbaI
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 body360Please respect copyright.PENANA2bFOTuF3PF
360Please respect copyright.PENANAQa7LImytXS
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?360Please respect copyright.PENANACIcwy3Iy81
360Please respect copyright.PENANAF77lAsOJDf
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 bed360Please respect copyright.PENANAjhzJXixjaf
360Please respect copyright.PENANAhXbjQKp0oE
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 time360Please respect copyright.PENANAYJxbkwhl05
360Please respect copyright.PENANAcYNLiJZLfP
"Ah, shit!" She screamed360Please respect copyright.PENANA2CyJEQMCOu
360Please respect copyright.PENANA48P3IwG190
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 shoes360Please respect copyright.PENANAY9a5pJZKoq
360Please respect copyright.PENANArZ4eyX6sGS
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 good360Please respect copyright.PENANASyMAm7xFiz
360Please respect copyright.PENANAKhZSa3vyvt
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 tardiness360Please respect copyright.PENANAf7pPFQK3mg
360Please respect copyright.PENANAyRgGxnpR0f
Alex cursed when the bell rang 360Please respect copyright.PENANASQH8Su6LcR
360Please respect copyright.PENANApJociAMYlE
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 sure360Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4KgVG0N1
360Please respect copyright.PENANAFDETaKXgWk
Was there something she could do?360Please respect copyright.PENANAQuv0RDE832
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjuuJFKIp5C
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 sun360Please respect copyright.PENANAbRmi0hiocy
360Please respect copyright.PENANAoYeKiMRks9
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams360Please respect copyright.PENANAxsfcmmem6p
360Please respect copyright.PENANA5UhK3Oj2Ll
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 face360Please respect copyright.PENANAp2WezV7vKm
360Please respect copyright.PENANAVJi20cDL1W
So it was real?360Please respect copyright.PENANAm36nLNNuBM
360Please respect copyright.PENANA8SEjhKKvZp
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan360Please respect copyright.PENANAcwtE8WuxbD
360Please respect copyright.PENANAqOwSeotsUb
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 her360Please respect copyright.PENANA61QXqW2LS4
360Please respect copyright.PENANABzdWtYHz2u
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work360Please respect copyright.PENANAFl8YpUcTnH
360Please respect copyright.PENANAffDRQKLYY0
But it was worth the shot360Please respect copyright.PENANAJSKAEOEvTo
360Please respect copyright.PENANACx4bCbW5gf
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 way360Please respect copyright.PENANAPrK6AEVGza
360Please respect copyright.PENANAIAe9DQrhsc
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 trip360Please respect copyright.PENANALKJRelr5Qh
360Please respect copyright.PENANANmpaqnl2w4
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief360Please respect copyright.PENANABlFMbxW3mj
360Please respect copyright.PENANA9ruDb9lLbt
360Please respect copyright.PENANAd1eUnnTKkl
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 floor360Please respect copyright.PENANAedBm2whH0g
360Please respect copyright.PENANA89xJAOCK1v
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work360Please respect copyright.PENANAovZsARkC8P
360Please respect copyright.PENANAJuKTUjWjUC
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANAzl4AVm7aUM
360Please respect copyright.PENANAMmKIUxoAcH
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANApveOUALi67
360Please respect copyright.PENANAQuMvT05LLc
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. 360Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8D5yZbvB0
360Please respect copyright.PENANAGlgYQsLBiO
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. 360Please respect copyright.PENANAdvtcLK2Tc0
360Please respect copyright.PENANAPR04hm7UvI
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANAVQWH4thz7t
360Please respect copyright.PENANASTj8Y5zoxX
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.360Please respect copyright.PENANAq6V4T32w8y
360Please respect copyright.PENANAntkaNigvYA
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 cloak360Please respect copyright.PENANAeJD9i2mfPa
360Please respect copyright.PENANAZxtDvaRURb
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 360Please respect copyright.PENANAL67je43ecq
360Please respect copyright.PENANAfoQBqESt9v
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANAzKVuSoDB5L
360Please respect copyright.PENANAwwiV9WPEKf
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANABsMv92fV3s
360Please respect copyright.PENANAy4N1tqUqwK
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.360Please respect copyright.PENANAuXnVvMq9I2
360Please respect copyright.PENANAoCFbiBjNkJ
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up360Please respect copyright.PENANABGpHcoo47X
360Please respect copyright.PENANAhdiCULbeX9
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.360Please respect copyright.PENANAa27ETbnJiD
360Please respect copyright.PENANAnPI6EgBev2
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.360Please respect copyright.PENANAQP74wSFPPV
360Please respect copyright.PENANAkz6B8WWEQk
"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."360Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Ggg28Hb2
