"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 item265Please respect copyright.PENANAac9krhdcBf
265Please respect copyright.PENANAemjpZ20WVr
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her265Please respect copyright.PENANAxHJyWq4RUt
265Please respect copyright.PENANAnhg4MWBFQ4
"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 second265Please respect copyright.PENANAWbMhao0sdj
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhCwfEAOiAC
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"265Please respect copyright.PENANAFW9x5Iyhue
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZpDmJjQZmt
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 movie265Please respect copyright.PENANAKPY8E7qw7N
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZuYe8JzV1F
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 body265Please respect copyright.PENANA40PXhXK9SV
265Please respect copyright.PENANAe4xXG2JdIv
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?265Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yz7OfBAp3
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjvdy5LE2zb
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 bed265Please respect copyright.PENANA0OF5tVxw9Z
265Please respect copyright.PENANA6sj3AHuY4A
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 time265Please respect copyright.PENANAIE68KauIef
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUmvimTPBie
"Ah, shit!" She screamed265Please respect copyright.PENANAweM2Jelz0M
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYHRbp4EQve
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 shoes265Please respect copyright.PENANARoAzHzJiSD
265Please respect copyright.PENANAi4aAztRamh
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 good265Please respect copyright.PENANATmPrJebvlR
265Please respect copyright.PENANAnEg4wUGO5Z
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 tardiness265Please respect copyright.PENANA1U3rWqc80T
265Please respect copyright.PENANAspg2mXIHec
Alex cursed when the bell rang 265Please respect copyright.PENANAv3RLDLiIiL
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkXoo04mnUs
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 sure265Please respect copyright.PENANArXJKm5ngVo
265Please respect copyright.PENANApDAE3rcZxO
Was there something she could do?265Please respect copyright.PENANAlAEXjER8GK
265Please respect copyright.PENANA2VeDP4mS4X
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 sun265Please respect copyright.PENANAY05HPESX3I
265Please respect copyright.PENANAGZCcxDBuEe
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams265Please respect copyright.PENANAjuAd6ah815
265Please respect copyright.PENANAfQLAmwYm0D
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 face265Please respect copyright.PENANAJTkLIVxzbL
265Please respect copyright.PENANAw01GarO9vY
So it was real?265Please respect copyright.PENANA7axzDxSRl1
265Please respect copyright.PENANA39fMTwMrGX
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan265Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8unr17DfV
265Please respect copyright.PENANASriU9etKsG
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 her265Please respect copyright.PENANAoME1v0xzRn
265Please respect copyright.PENANAciFT8Zob1I
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work265Please respect copyright.PENANAuhbbMCRRyh
265Please respect copyright.PENANAX7F0fyMox0
But it was worth the shot265Please respect copyright.PENANAjVQYneBAkf
265Please respect copyright.PENANAE8H9FkeK7K
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 way265Please respect copyright.PENANAXW8yjkXJy7
265Please respect copyright.PENANAlDG4JgJvLI
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 trip265Please respect copyright.PENANA5pWBhI25AC
265Please respect copyright.PENANACRYXVZVGif
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief265Please respect copyright.PENANAJxYQvYCp3o
265Please respect copyright.PENANAfFiyCB4c9h
265Please respect copyright.PENANAc6iDd179I8
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 floor265Please respect copyright.PENANARUVcYOv6Am
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3cTGPXoHQO
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work265Please respect copyright.PENANAuU6B4bdXo8
265Please respect copyright.PENANAnN8PKUFg3d
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANARikg5NfwfX
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZB6V2lM6rS
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAJde3mvFn7a
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3le0A0MCeW
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. 265Please respect copyright.PENANAuMumgmje4V
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1OlIyL1K55
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. 265Please respect copyright.PENANAcTEVlfFoht
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQLqmfUhPLE
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANA2OV94s4mTw
265Please respect copyright.PENANABTDC6Qqm1I
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.265Please respect copyright.PENANAiQb5xoOKE1
265Please respect copyright.PENANA73I4cNIlBD
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 cloak265Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9POOvKuV
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjvoAjjuVYO
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 265Please respect copyright.PENANAXxN5TkyGVz
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdxuybmRQlo
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAVfrMmsp6bm
265Please respect copyright.PENANAKOdhDBO4l1
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAkMYEp31N3U
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJYnYyL9PaP
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAiduyqCGgiU
265Please respect copyright.PENANACSgYFFahwJ
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up265Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0vCVWof0N
265Please respect copyright.PENANA6988Xp2s1h
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.265Please respect copyright.PENANAqQofbhZ7vq
265Please respect copyright.PENANAlgDGZf6Zgv
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.265Please respect copyright.PENANA4TJtGEX0lo
265Please respect copyright.PENANAEMJtg2RVQ4
"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."265Please respect copyright.PENANAHHtZNngqrY
