"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 item393Please respect copyright.PENANAyv9FqzoQ8c
393Please respect copyright.PENANA1GEIA72yC8
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her393Please respect copyright.PENANAmGoOmj0Z96
393Please respect copyright.PENANAOTqmpNQKCG
"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 second393Please respect copyright.PENANAexviPQkkFt
393Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6bhi6CRFI
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"393Please respect copyright.PENANAp78gww13tU
393Please respect copyright.PENANA00pg66bRtz
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 movie393Please respect copyright.PENANAayqh88NF34
393Please respect copyright.PENANADDrcN7pkE3
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 body393Please respect copyright.PENANAvojS6hpEAP
393Please respect copyright.PENANAoEkJuIzD8G
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?393Please respect copyright.PENANALCPTvAXpRA
393Please respect copyright.PENANAPkvALUDAOU
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 bed393Please respect copyright.PENANABxekVTCCdF
393Please respect copyright.PENANAcoYzPwy7ZO
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 time393Please respect copyright.PENANA6FYsoNxg9V
393Please respect copyright.PENANAsmk8h2PvJt
"Ah, shit!" She screamed393Please respect copyright.PENANAtF1EJMTNnw
393Please respect copyright.PENANAvgNwbIATue
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 shoes393Please respect copyright.PENANATCJszIDwdP
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFrbEgMZLwa
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 good393Please respect copyright.PENANATjwmXsoX3q
393Please respect copyright.PENANA6G4RNwhLRJ
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 tardiness393Please respect copyright.PENANAyyquPV6Beo
393Please respect copyright.PENANAteYeCAP4x0
Alex cursed when the bell rang 393Please respect copyright.PENANAXl25aQO4KS
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqH2C7VgtRg
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 sure393Please respect copyright.PENANAi05QW9tMka
393Please respect copyright.PENANAW7EXNjsgJi
Was there something she could do?393Please respect copyright.PENANAVKgWP4Dhi9
393Please respect copyright.PENANAh2q5NHlobS
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 sun393Please respect copyright.PENANAkxzasdE8dQ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqxx3TyCxlq
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams393Please respect copyright.PENANASzuOcyR6vG
393Please respect copyright.PENANAviykvVnwpV
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 face393Please respect copyright.PENANALSohhTsrBX
393Please respect copyright.PENANAtseTtzPrDL
So it was real?393Please respect copyright.PENANAS6cg6Nm3Zt
393Please respect copyright.PENANA6e4PhrEvd0
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan393Please respect copyright.PENANA9sBt3jpMep
393Please respect copyright.PENANAoIAVKnXNat
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 her393Please respect copyright.PENANAgLu2CKJKcx
393Please respect copyright.PENANAJnbYlZNYDT
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work393Please respect copyright.PENANAu6YCVaJOsN
393Please respect copyright.PENANAuMtIC4lVxM
But it was worth the shot393Please respect copyright.PENANAEAUTFu4WHL
393Please respect copyright.PENANAbDfQZWZllH
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 way393Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHcFh8FaB
393Please respect copyright.PENANAhc4HapXwOj
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 trip393Please respect copyright.PENANAwaeGCyNb0D
393Please respect copyright.PENANAU3YeyZ7iMe
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief393Please respect copyright.PENANAoL1V17gh3O
393Please respect copyright.PENANAXroPpX5Y0l
393Please respect copyright.PENANAlyWGsmVfgJ
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 floor393Please respect copyright.PENANAjmp8lzwZBw
393Please respect copyright.PENANAhd55jB8sQY
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work393Please respect copyright.PENANAeFF8E8c9tA
393Please respect copyright.PENANAYruuvl1iJs
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA8MfGGBy0in
393Please respect copyright.PENANARKXx8pmAz0
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAIRqgSfq71e
393Please respect copyright.PENANA79uRIn45sg
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAxKVbyMVgCj
393Please respect copyright.PENANAjOqCh13UnT
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAFn9nkUYQ17
393Please respect copyright.PENANAzifgY8Mhwr
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA7TQ4TMPBOx
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqC08Vokl1U
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.393Please respect copyright.PENANAuguwSMTyXU
393Please respect copyright.PENANAdMQOnSChO9
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 cloak393Please respect copyright.PENANAGCAQgZkaqN
393Please respect copyright.PENANAKRdlffEJiI
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 393Please respect copyright.PENANACw0aSJa5ga
393Please respect copyright.PENANAZVhLArABz2
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxNLUSFfcMM
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFtd8Gd5wST
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANASVpCuAB8bq
393Please respect copyright.PENANAWdKp9FvDQh
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAJYpt74DUrW
393Please respect copyright.PENANASnUcuY2jzJ
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up393Please respect copyright.PENANAzjlM4O3xru
393Please respect copyright.PENANADNwbcofew5
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.393Please respect copyright.PENANAXJifeRoOf1
393Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ld9tg4CLw
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.393Please respect copyright.PENANAUpGco0VkPy
393Please respect copyright.PENANAtsXlvjoHYt
"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."393Please respect copyright.PENANAd7BaRMPJX1
