"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 item448Please respect copyright.PENANAih2WLOeXzv
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXLNyuN49rE
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her448Please respect copyright.PENANAmayVSZJZra
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdmZTIXypJL
"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 second448Please respect copyright.PENANA8hxFurHkr0
448Please respect copyright.PENANAoumjlJWhsn
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"448Please respect copyright.PENANAeqRxsLpNo9
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUEbW7JhOFd
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 movie448Please respect copyright.PENANArUweXJZ6Q5
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVcfuWEWDhj
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 body448Please respect copyright.PENANA33OTVnm4Vb
448Please respect copyright.PENANAo4QhwPjzRx
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?448Please respect copyright.PENANAwVNUJRKpkq
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYVwXsNn6
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 bed448Please respect copyright.PENANAmIoY85dg6n
448Please respect copyright.PENANADO3V8nqMGV
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 time448Please respect copyright.PENANA3porEXzyJA
448Please respect copyright.PENANAWpJcCOYs7M
"Ah, shit!" She screamed448Please respect copyright.PENANAfLPnSvv86B
448Please respect copyright.PENANAz4xmOQcOfX
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 shoes448Please respect copyright.PENANAwHW06kRgaD
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJfuqK37hyH
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 good448Please respect copyright.PENANASbn9JwWlpz
448Please respect copyright.PENANADDFZW7c65a
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 tardiness448Please respect copyright.PENANADMJXGeguYG
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4AIfjSmHhH
Alex cursed when the bell rang 448Please respect copyright.PENANAtZY0ZsDKaM
448Please respect copyright.PENANAILZMeiQMtp
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 sure448Please respect copyright.PENANAOeHG0DVIMs
448Please respect copyright.PENANAboqj73VVjw
Was there something she could do?448Please respect copyright.PENANA1IoIobUuDp
448Please respect copyright.PENANAF2VSlcRGio
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 sun448Please respect copyright.PENANAoqlfIMUUuD
448Please respect copyright.PENANADJtmFQxd26
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams448Please respect copyright.PENANAExCZN7eXpg
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdrB5Rke0nr
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 face448Please respect copyright.PENANA6ewwzmZ2fb
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAv2YqGfiek
So it was real?448Please respect copyright.PENANAYlJ4tIOgZA
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdBVSYbUO2U
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan448Please respect copyright.PENANAqC3gWcj6PH
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqGlVu9zkp1
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 her448Please respect copyright.PENANAHN6WQDXh8w
448Please respect copyright.PENANABitX14jzeF
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work448Please respect copyright.PENANAddNWYRcqQF
448Please respect copyright.PENANAn403CeX2gi
But it was worth the shot448Please respect copyright.PENANANcxelGkbvt
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfc3VTPRzbx
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 way448Please respect copyright.PENANA3M4vGDkJmw
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQxOhwguEOH
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 trip448Please respect copyright.PENANAVSkFL98IUM
448Please respect copyright.PENANA5bG8ow71sn
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief448Please respect copyright.PENANA0wflaAsSK7
448Please respect copyright.PENANAcq7yU2mDbD
448Please respect copyright.PENANAl5O8fO2BUx
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 floor448Please respect copyright.PENANAvcMNQIPJXg
448Please respect copyright.PENANAu3NKhj4gwy
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work448Please respect copyright.PENANAwy3OtYyiOM
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfPCCnxh06F
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANA6gt1Tapv9w
448Please respect copyright.PENANAbRAPskioUt
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANAa5sCj8yJYj
448Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Vh3M8mfP
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. 448Please respect copyright.PENANAKfzrKan8wG
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZg8vDjHeUu
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. 448Please respect copyright.PENANA1r4WrLkfgi
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhXzDXkk41G
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTYHVGRz8
448Please respect copyright.PENANAHPw2IVhatZ
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.448Please respect copyright.PENANAN78Sb2WG8N
448Please respect copyright.PENANAiezaV1bg56
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 cloak448Please respect copyright.PENANAVeDZ7CzDX3
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhDmFP4EBz2
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 448Please respect copyright.PENANA35cw2XOost
448Please respect copyright.PENANActrEhI7hTQ
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANAiEFwQStkma
448Please respect copyright.PENANArpHPq0B9P9
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANAS3pkCqZTuG
448Please respect copyright.PENANAawNOdmHEFZ
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.448Please respect copyright.PENANA9nl5FxJYZ4
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7OPDmIi5tj
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up448Please respect copyright.PENANAiZnauVMXcG
448Please respect copyright.PENANApo76zHr4Js
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.448Please respect copyright.PENANAIQL0fRlSKk
448Please respect copyright.PENANAX3x30q26Vj
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.448Please respect copyright.PENANAWiKSBnw6uo
448Please respect copyright.PENANAH9gRYc8Sd5
"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."448Please respect copyright.PENANAjuGjJNnpfm
