"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 item278Please respect copyright.PENANAUBxx4ZF9GC
278Please respect copyright.PENANApkuqupP4Wh
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her278Please respect copyright.PENANAlR7AGzkNgr
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzwgYeFCOKs
"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 second278Please respect copyright.PENANAUKB375Qt5Y
278Please respect copyright.PENANAf9XFo6Ll1B
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"278Please respect copyright.PENANAvqOWKDOw9D
278Please respect copyright.PENANAKWUOe2rVFk
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 movie278Please respect copyright.PENANASd6PPqULvL
278Please respect copyright.PENANAOj0p6ztMVU
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 body278Please respect copyright.PENANAzpQzhOO8mp
278Please respect copyright.PENANAeKgxNKCOP6
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?278Please respect copyright.PENANAvc1EeRlHZR
278Please respect copyright.PENANAo0KGh5Flop
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 bed278Please respect copyright.PENANAE1SjiJ6rZj
278Please respect copyright.PENANAT2yyGre5Yo
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 time278Please respect copyright.PENANAiVGXKk34S7
278Please respect copyright.PENANAA96EnTAiJ0
"Ah, shit!" She screamed278Please respect copyright.PENANA8lgR8RhMoF
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMlqO1nfuMh
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 shoes278Please respect copyright.PENANAza4y6G0ZDE
278Please respect copyright.PENANAFMn5tZWOY9
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 good278Please respect copyright.PENANAzc3PlaL1eq
278Please respect copyright.PENANAouNyOHh962
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 tardiness278Please respect copyright.PENANAH3OhdbCcrK
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMx6K44j6Dq
Alex cursed when the bell rang 278Please respect copyright.PENANANDzQ3wjDu8
278Please respect copyright.PENANAvobKOZSKC4
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 sure278Please respect copyright.PENANAcvSEO7kKUl
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGHXJL3f8np
Was there something she could do?278Please respect copyright.PENANA1y6Zvxya6m
278Please respect copyright.PENANAbMF7o3cS40
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 sun278Please respect copyright.PENANAvbSuCoPQi6
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHT2I2DcWhZ
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams278Please respect copyright.PENANAFbfOxI2kE1
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYUStEdF4eS
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 face278Please respect copyright.PENANAG1hOTBNW4P
278Please respect copyright.PENANAnMEhEfkUhY
So it was real?278Please respect copyright.PENANABLW2LifZa5
278Please respect copyright.PENANAhyddjmjmLt
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan278Please respect copyright.PENANABJ4cceJSKs
278Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oi3eRngGj
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 her278Please respect copyright.PENANAmp6rw6mQb9
278Please respect copyright.PENANASnqNWF3UVQ
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work278Please respect copyright.PENANAXbkiaB1vaS
278Please respect copyright.PENANAXfRFuQDbIr
But it was worth the shot278Please respect copyright.PENANAlq71ArDpIk
278Please respect copyright.PENANAN5TnRNrC9N
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 way278Please respect copyright.PENANAXnveqWQtGV
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3sEMvP2EIU
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 trip278Please respect copyright.PENANAYy6mQNqeSg
278Please respect copyright.PENANAoQI4SSz93t
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief278Please respect copyright.PENANAtogxSRCtOn
278Please respect copyright.PENANADAZiYTCtgK
278Please respect copyright.PENANAS225NPXB2u
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 floor278Please respect copyright.PENANAosAmGhWnR9
278Please respect copyright.PENANArRG7WDtvyM
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work278Please respect copyright.PENANAiyQSVF5m8x
278Please respect copyright.PENANAdhT3QUhq2N
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAWsaOXo9Wjd
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHmL9X3FaiG
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA1d40Ozrz1O
278Please respect copyright.PENANA1nlmmbZvso
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. 278Please respect copyright.PENANA9YBizJjBe2
278Please respect copyright.PENANApJeybpIlbQ
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. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAclfMsenl1T
278Please respect copyright.PENANARbNlc7MpE6
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAiFcX0A5Oq9
278Please respect copyright.PENANAuJMJG5oUJl
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.278Please respect copyright.PENANAHGJKrxUFnG
278Please respect copyright.PENANAx3QRcdrSDq
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 cloak278Please respect copyright.PENANAVmxQpDmIdP
278Please respect copyright.PENANASgqtTuINO8
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAkDcsLBi8qB
278Please respect copyright.PENANAFgsBneKKWX
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANATSR8ghwtK7
278Please respect copyright.PENANAWl49vdtV8H
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAgmSl42EzCZ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYBvmKuAW1e
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA9LTlFIRcRi
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyb3eMNVK1Y
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up278Please respect copyright.PENANATmhmJF2R3S
278Please respect copyright.PENANASHOHmdQXsB
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.278Please respect copyright.PENANAj7vS5gvf6V
278Please respect copyright.PENANAxC5iCNIyuD
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.278Please respect copyright.PENANAvQq2e895ty
278Please respect copyright.PENANAqpEUzC3ht0
"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."278Please respect copyright.PENANAgHPgnfuvp9
