"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 item266Please respect copyright.PENANAAfd8nBj6Or
266Please respect copyright.PENANA3CdCXEiYum
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her266Please respect copyright.PENANAh35Vh8AKuW
266Please respect copyright.PENANAUjJbe8Mk1j
"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 second266Please respect copyright.PENANAqTAPOgR1l6
266Please respect copyright.PENANAqqsbGQRUNs
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"266Please respect copyright.PENANAll90nVxWq5
266Please respect copyright.PENANABfK5OWRVhu
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 movie266Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7TFVJj4QX
266Please respect copyright.PENANAZqxqLyPPQZ
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 body266Please respect copyright.PENANA9adt38vH5m
266Please respect copyright.PENANAfDX0g4WW5A
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?266Please respect copyright.PENANAsDVWd5nxdZ
266Please respect copyright.PENANAo45uwo3svM
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 bed266Please respect copyright.PENANAo7PXb9mVRF
266Please respect copyright.PENANAD9LkKfMBRX
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 time266Please respect copyright.PENANA9eECtMFO56
266Please respect copyright.PENANAgH67kMAlkg
"Ah, shit!" She screamed266Please respect copyright.PENANAEagnrciyu9
266Please respect copyright.PENANAcmprzZhiEQ
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 shoes266Please respect copyright.PENANA4zfyHAQQK7
266Please respect copyright.PENANAnWK0W7Lhgz
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 good266Please respect copyright.PENANAICiyRfmviN
266Please respect copyright.PENANAZF99P3iHOo
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 tardiness266Please respect copyright.PENANAXVxZI9ydSY
266Please respect copyright.PENANAqnuQYzwCp6
Alex cursed when the bell rang 266Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Q6qrfGKm
266Please respect copyright.PENANATJv4ndEbJs
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 sure266Please respect copyright.PENANAEpY8SjQcot
266Please respect copyright.PENANAdTYUyZlQBW
Was there something she could do?266Please respect copyright.PENANAAanFUOSSiZ
266Please respect copyright.PENANAHfwWbs6D4h
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 sun266Please respect copyright.PENANAACCPLMZ83T
266Please respect copyright.PENANA9otCPEWSUj
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams266Please respect copyright.PENANAFUbPp2mmDT
266Please respect copyright.PENANAE3qNBZlr7H
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 face266Please respect copyright.PENANAA28xW98pnD
266Please respect copyright.PENANARE7RWJQBkT
So it was real?266Please respect copyright.PENANA8EGZz5QXIN
266Please respect copyright.PENANAahyMTvi2Pg
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan266Please respect copyright.PENANAuhCClyhRlT
266Please respect copyright.PENANA1OQFNyBDgy
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 her266Please respect copyright.PENANArGZGyvt4mf
266Please respect copyright.PENANAVSqAcP1XWV
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work266Please respect copyright.PENANAKNoe2VgHeL
266Please respect copyright.PENANAdUFTdY9Rr5
But it was worth the shot266Please respect copyright.PENANALTas1lX9Uz
266Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ujNf7W19
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 way266Please respect copyright.PENANA6pIOm6c3I2
266Please respect copyright.PENANA5ODgGYoBZ5
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 trip266Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZLkHmMm1I
266Please respect copyright.PENANAttmP27w3yf
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief266Please respect copyright.PENANAiPAnzICEIn
266Please respect copyright.PENANAZs0xI5lkJc
266Please respect copyright.PENANAYhevva1uUr
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 floor266Please respect copyright.PENANA78B44cuHkp
266Please respect copyright.PENANAqn8GcOJV3S
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work266Please respect copyright.PENANALfp4SOww8A
266Please respect copyright.PENANAk6BPUUqwbH
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANA8GfMc7LO6V
266Please respect copyright.PENANAWGNdUSZveP
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAyv36fq2tHP
266Please respect copyright.PENANAq5MKZ4DGGi
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. 266Please respect copyright.PENANATle7fhWgAs
266Please respect copyright.PENANADmCUoNcig5
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. 266Please respect copyright.PENANAreCMeqK7GI
266Please respect copyright.PENANAOUsmEmHdBZ
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAzLUOBlO1i5
266Please respect copyright.PENANAzApFcVgXij
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.266Please respect copyright.PENANAQH4u42Xf4u
266Please respect copyright.PENANAkrgO54EfZw
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 cloak266Please respect copyright.PENANAVgaQqu9YJ3
266Please respect copyright.PENANAyGFSY9Q3Gb
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 266Please respect copyright.PENANABSU0edF8QS
266Please respect copyright.PENANAJTjuJYh67x
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAoBQ5IuBU8R
266Please respect copyright.PENANAQsqtS5Cuxn
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAYIu5Ys9ADj
266Please respect copyright.PENANAHO6klCFVpd
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAeKQeguXMdo
266Please respect copyright.PENANA22Gt5DEwSB
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up266Please respect copyright.PENANA3D7CctwRo7
266Please respect copyright.PENANA5qBisGSxjb
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.266Please respect copyright.PENANAp01Eiunl6a
266Please respect copyright.PENANAwGBau3a9yY
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.266Please respect copyright.PENANApuXJkaWwxk
266Please respect copyright.PENANApXeMBrIfVS
"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."266Please respect copyright.PENANAFRFi4HpBg0
