"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 item340Please respect copyright.PENANAbHnOu1wCcw
340Please respect copyright.PENANAO0rc69Gmtf
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her340Please respect copyright.PENANAuT7fZQ0yeA
340Please respect copyright.PENANA5e824Dclka
"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 second340Please respect copyright.PENANAvBcyA1Fshh
340Please respect copyright.PENANACESeo8DZVR
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"340Please respect copyright.PENANARTXHgY6ZHk
340Please respect copyright.PENANA9agEi0Hexx
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 movie340Please respect copyright.PENANA81efxL6GEZ
340Please respect copyright.PENANAZhJNWeGSLL
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 body340Please respect copyright.PENANA5dljiOU26t
340Please respect copyright.PENANAzfLuM8PAy6
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?340Please respect copyright.PENANA5V7mC4LVSn
340Please respect copyright.PENANAbOfi4w5p6f
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 bed340Please respect copyright.PENANA8JvIXAQz9M
340Please respect copyright.PENANAzLlDHBIaoy
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 time340Please respect copyright.PENANADxvcV5BU8y
340Please respect copyright.PENANAGz5vIsRZQG
"Ah, shit!" She screamed340Please respect copyright.PENANAmbMDFsJRsb
340Please respect copyright.PENANAIytlyzh1km
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 shoes340Please respect copyright.PENANA7jHWRqkiEx
340Please respect copyright.PENANADhxTupH416
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 good340Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Wonu5yFI
340Please respect copyright.PENANAjiITRAwPkM
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 tardiness340Please respect copyright.PENANAOTGcDU5VyJ
340Please respect copyright.PENANAq6aRM9tgge
Alex cursed when the bell rang 340Please respect copyright.PENANAWhrFLptSuZ
340Please respect copyright.PENANAMfEbel0TKX
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 sure340Please respect copyright.PENANAGLHJjXKJyz
340Please respect copyright.PENANAcjQXJhQoH2
Was there something she could do?340Please respect copyright.PENANA5v3sCplNBr
340Please respect copyright.PENANAyNSwuwW9UW
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 sun340Please respect copyright.PENANAfZjGeJwe6W
340Please respect copyright.PENANAsmNM91HK4I
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams340Please respect copyright.PENANA1BTlP96JMz
340Please respect copyright.PENANAvlULnhdPxG
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 face340Please respect copyright.PENANAw2RNQUbcvB
340Please respect copyright.PENANARL955AMTNv
So it was real?340Please respect copyright.PENANAFokoEopGm1
340Please respect copyright.PENANAHJb80YCR0m
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan340Please respect copyright.PENANADqUyU0hDuD
340Please respect copyright.PENANAulXQmmN4Kt
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 her340Please respect copyright.PENANAWmjvf34HCu
340Please respect copyright.PENANAE8bJzWhfi9
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work340Please respect copyright.PENANAAvVqQ9LuTC
340Please respect copyright.PENANAruM6RkN6wk
But it was worth the shot340Please respect copyright.PENANAWWbxHEXm7N
340Please respect copyright.PENANAd0cuqpQSpH
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 way340Please respect copyright.PENANACL21cJ24OF
340Please respect copyright.PENANAUxyYLN4k18
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 trip340Please respect copyright.PENANAIUiMVBqQOC
340Please respect copyright.PENANAlSrLIFgrhZ
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief340Please respect copyright.PENANADRzFLqAHQE
340Please respect copyright.PENANAmK9ZrV5E9H
340Please respect copyright.PENANALIMPWBHPwe
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 floor340Please respect copyright.PENANAwvDXuQF8qd
340Please respect copyright.PENANATt34f4QZkD
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work340Please respect copyright.PENANAzzXqbPPKP1
340Please respect copyright.PENANAkcbYuFdD7F
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANAFw6lOMF2dJ
340Please respect copyright.PENANACpFjrQnhf2
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANARLWX2PHBRI
340Please respect copyright.PENANAtCDWtTwUZi
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. 340Please respect copyright.PENANAnrDzTTkC5l
340Please respect copyright.PENANAamZb84gN1j
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. 340Please respect copyright.PENANAVsAytdwkDf
340Please respect copyright.PENANAK9HFTUFDqg
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANA2pEdY1OcWj
340Please respect copyright.PENANARpx249QT8b
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.340Please respect copyright.PENANARwVad1UYCo
340Please respect copyright.PENANAuH7tu6dWqP
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 cloak340Please respect copyright.PENANAl3YPBlUsoy
340Please respect copyright.PENANAfo9FS0idk1
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 340Please respect copyright.PENANAPXpHN3Lr44
340Please respect copyright.PENANAhsQcj9ELFc
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANAXcp5EJTFyJ
340Please respect copyright.PENANAlvZBv7OOWq
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANAiExHveWEiw
340Please respect copyright.PENANADFgtlnPUu3
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.340Please respect copyright.PENANAFv7fTHfBnL
340Please respect copyright.PENANABDy25AQFJ3
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up340Please respect copyright.PENANA3OIowTyedo
340Please respect copyright.PENANAyKIazBDftn
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.340Please respect copyright.PENANA9SmBVRTywf
340Please respect copyright.PENANAdIUOoC13gi
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.340Please respect copyright.PENANAJEdStBAaJ1
340Please respect copyright.PENANA4XBYK9ggRC
"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."340Please respect copyright.PENANAmGGYHa4YUi
