"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 item281Please respect copyright.PENANAq2gl7mzaPU
281Please respect copyright.PENANAuzKtef6dGJ
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her281Please respect copyright.PENANAoj43YjQina
281Please respect copyright.PENANAHYj1RgfTlA
"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 second281Please respect copyright.PENANAXO1io7FpVw
281Please respect copyright.PENANApGgoVnhHbp
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"281Please respect copyright.PENANAUrQNyBAsN8
281Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGug7VJdf
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 movie281Please respect copyright.PENANAD6y7V1VNUl
281Please respect copyright.PENANApC5pMqfvJq
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 body281Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wa9ULT0QJ
281Please respect copyright.PENANALroUdvuk51
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?281Please respect copyright.PENANAhGgtkMrUs5
281Please respect copyright.PENANAvA66ahUPgu
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 bed281Please respect copyright.PENANAUTP1Hw6f7T
281Please respect copyright.PENANAERXdX8k8Jj
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 time281Please respect copyright.PENANAD8muZmAYOl
281Please respect copyright.PENANAjVLSCvWVhv
"Ah, shit!" She screamed281Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZTZKBgPTj
281Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHiOZKSVJ
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 shoes281Please respect copyright.PENANAp6wwhLz793
281Please respect copyright.PENANAZnkSK7rDPO
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 good281Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Y6FupZKW
281Please respect copyright.PENANAQZYUNENm23
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 tardiness281Please respect copyright.PENANAmHWXP7TNuk
281Please respect copyright.PENANAJD3xqE3bE5
Alex cursed when the bell rang 281Please respect copyright.PENANAmRrxrxEobr
281Please respect copyright.PENANAvthKYCxlxl
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 sure281Please respect copyright.PENANAj53q8KOzus
281Please respect copyright.PENANA6WpKhG2H2d
Was there something she could do?281Please respect copyright.PENANAibLkG41lFv
281Please respect copyright.PENANAd32bKg9iq9
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 sun281Please respect copyright.PENANAWRjzgzTMBS
281Please respect copyright.PENANAMtQjpGapCI
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams281Please respect copyright.PENANA4gNGf5hrN8
281Please respect copyright.PENANAvjtmnEKhjk
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 face281Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTw5A2t9g
281Please respect copyright.PENANAuwscFMZrQs
So it was real?281Please respect copyright.PENANALQOY5f5KWw
281Please respect copyright.PENANAyVoidlkyis
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan281Please respect copyright.PENANAyophGggMf9
281Please respect copyright.PENANAy0qR5oNhNE
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 her281Please respect copyright.PENANAyOdcu37PLQ
281Please respect copyright.PENANA1afGnqCZXH
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work281Please respect copyright.PENANAgUb0jtcp4N
281Please respect copyright.PENANAsunZqhfMFX
But it was worth the shot281Please respect copyright.PENANAuzns3uEL1N
281Please respect copyright.PENANAy59kXmMCBM
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 way281Please respect copyright.PENANATIYP6pcWUw
281Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGsZdZED1
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 trip281Please respect copyright.PENANAffJYBq1uCG
281Please respect copyright.PENANACokHWWrRkR
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief281Please respect copyright.PENANAICo6LDkVtb
281Please respect copyright.PENANAfgE4ZZsyKX
281Please respect copyright.PENANAM0dEGGLs5q
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 floor281Please respect copyright.PENANAvPm7eK9kR9
281Please respect copyright.PENANAoA8Pl7nrUF
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work281Please respect copyright.PENANA5GulurVJbL
281Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ljki916y
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANAHbshzCZzJD
281Please respect copyright.PENANAG8vfxjlRzu
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANAUh4RPewwyG
281Please respect copyright.PENANAu85lCZRtl2
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. 281Please respect copyright.PENANA5cQeRCnVbL
281Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Y3pEczRY
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. 281Please respect copyright.PENANA48yKOaFk8P
281Please respect copyright.PENANAYRaGcxBwi5
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANAxvXGEak58j
281Please respect copyright.PENANABM86AEHXKu
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.281Please respect copyright.PENANA0o9Ad0b5ZV
281Please respect copyright.PENANAjpEjtbEyd8
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 cloak281Please respect copyright.PENANAEixwQTuw8q
281Please respect copyright.PENANASrXI8YZbvs
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 281Please respect copyright.PENANAMRsvQKy8FE
281Please respect copyright.PENANAQ09wb0GQaN
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANAW3hNuusVOf
281Please respect copyright.PENANAkoelVEhvIX
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANALeJ0QUBpPI
281Please respect copyright.PENANAeFIh96uhNc
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.281Please respect copyright.PENANAEue1mvuae8
281Please respect copyright.PENANAE69Qq0hbt1
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up281Please respect copyright.PENANAuVsnymE7Du
281Please respect copyright.PENANAWEXgiP1C8L
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.281Please respect copyright.PENANABipJsF9OiC
281Please respect copyright.PENANAvEkvKyd3Gs
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.281Please respect copyright.PENANAfhhpEnLERP
281Please respect copyright.PENANAw7bxRPjAli
"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."281Please respect copyright.PENANApcuwRGc68q
