"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 item493Please respect copyright.PENANAj4P5xdb0jZ
493Please respect copyright.PENANALfqh8613eh
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her493Please respect copyright.PENANAq9McX4kGt2
493Please respect copyright.PENANAjRPou7Hwrw
"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 second493Please respect copyright.PENANAuWbWsycPvx
493Please respect copyright.PENANAbPj4CRvFUE
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"493Please respect copyright.PENANASahIGHPzjZ
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMADHadGTrT
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 movie493Please respect copyright.PENANAIetenwbAVO
493Please respect copyright.PENANAD8D5jEbJCW
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 body493Please respect copyright.PENANAg5FNDTbU6j
493Please respect copyright.PENANASn0NDFcMmx
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?493Please respect copyright.PENANAFC9AlQRtJ2
493Please respect copyright.PENANA51XYPRq6u2
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 bed493Please respect copyright.PENANAicaKpzQwQw
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmvFbc3Nl5u
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 time493Please respect copyright.PENANArT5HhQo4FL
493Please respect copyright.PENANAoBVVhFgCwM
"Ah, shit!" She screamed493Please respect copyright.PENANAdGRkPM3yGl
493Please respect copyright.PENANAEqUkmlJTI9
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 shoes493Please respect copyright.PENANAhgf4De2auu
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQMolwuICT3
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 good493Please respect copyright.PENANAEeWRtUiOCf
493Please respect copyright.PENANAv7serFq6As
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 tardiness493Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Xxgca6hq
493Please respect copyright.PENANAV4hN0XFA0v
Alex cursed when the bell rang 493Please respect copyright.PENANAbHS0yUwIx3
493Please respect copyright.PENANAol6r7ZmCvb
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 sure493Please respect copyright.PENANARTQmeqK9M3
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1RvEFjekpL
Was there something she could do?493Please respect copyright.PENANAO2y8nEkMKy
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUROUzLl9vd
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 sun493Please respect copyright.PENANA4uq7Xo53WT
493Please respect copyright.PENANAt3lmrAJaD1
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams493Please respect copyright.PENANAAGIcYhxUyn
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2EReWh45Uv
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 face493Please respect copyright.PENANAeWBTmZOdkE
493Please respect copyright.PENANADViQYE3RwO
So it was real?493Please respect copyright.PENANAPWYfvuYepq
493Please respect copyright.PENANAiaP1dj4GQb
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan493Please respect copyright.PENANALHrBnpAvsc
493Please respect copyright.PENANATxrPq0Fjwg
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 her493Please respect copyright.PENANAQW2hyTAzcB
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdJPbpPNWXc
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work493Please respect copyright.PENANAEJDscxzfJt
493Please respect copyright.PENANALL4fEUSBwg
But it was worth the shot493Please respect copyright.PENANAMtkaNZr22l
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhPhZly5NX6
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 way493Please respect copyright.PENANAjkEjRfGoSj
493Please respect copyright.PENANANvmKiQdxAv
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 trip493Please respect copyright.PENANAVzHzq0B5g9
493Please respect copyright.PENANArdwBHUHr3u
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief493Please respect copyright.PENANAl55whFHyuV
493Please respect copyright.PENANA7vjJ3SoqIJ
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKQG8DqFkTA
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 floor493Please respect copyright.PENANAdzYFrE3Qs0
493Please respect copyright.PENANAVeJFks7fBE
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work493Please respect copyright.PENANAXFiw9UVcWE
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8eqM125sj3
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAplOmfpUXgZ
493Please respect copyright.PENANAjxdiBm20iX
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANANmneKxIuDF
493Please respect copyright.PENANAP3vEdRMzvz
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAXPeV0RqJsn
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9magefNyRu
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAQEAUmuNbDh
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXViaTsVe9Q
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAZNzodOrQbm
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYtUfQ21qeS
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.493Please respect copyright.PENANAcc3qsoQHH3
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUYD8lnmnQ8
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 cloak493Please respect copyright.PENANAjiRCmrJfIT
493Please respect copyright.PENANATeJnaeg27N
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAPtO0W1J2L1
493Please respect copyright.PENANAqCo2zU0QXc
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANARDiJDqB2MD
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwlRgJqYkxW
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAB1xVkvaR7b
493Please respect copyright.PENANABfiTSZaFUT
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANA2AI5OJOTOl
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsMzammZ5QE
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up493Please respect copyright.PENANAz29S1Nac9g
493Please respect copyright.PENANAqeZraBSbi3
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.493Please respect copyright.PENANAOG5PXccQOD
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxqg01kOHts
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.493Please respect copyright.PENANArSphLHayZA
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPt7rKZazT1
"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."493Please respect copyright.PENANAncKrXK0zZJ
