"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 item443Please respect copyright.PENANAeYjyAJlx59
443Please respect copyright.PENANAuG7P6JV3cr
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her443Please respect copyright.PENANAvfMt4gulet
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXCbO0YdtOj
"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 second443Please respect copyright.PENANA6BSVSJY9JM
443Please respect copyright.PENANAA8wSPWszPq
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"443Please respect copyright.PENANAgk14tQi0sW
443Please respect copyright.PENANApDCVDgpfbG
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 movie443Please respect copyright.PENANAnpoMg75QLp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAD4REivCly4
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 body443Please respect copyright.PENANAuw6zPekzTv
443Please respect copyright.PENANAQdBOC5VJJM
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAXm84NK5hIw
443Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Hh4DVHY6
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 bed443Please respect copyright.PENANAdoDl1qA5r1
443Please respect copyright.PENANAvXddM5ILeR
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 time443Please respect copyright.PENANAg8sH2YlP4Y
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3bq88dwqiq
"Ah, shit!" She screamed443Please respect copyright.PENANApIIbXzBsj5
443Please respect copyright.PENANAvnHOZmIlbd
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 shoes443Please respect copyright.PENANAgd0fIVJKwJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKlPh5Kg8Wn
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 good443Please respect copyright.PENANApHK43uCj7i
443Please respect copyright.PENANAULKUT2Lus2
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 tardiness443Please respect copyright.PENANAE2F2G70ZSL
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjSGcG3xrn6
Alex cursed when the bell rang 443Please respect copyright.PENANAjoRx6lceAn
443Please respect copyright.PENANAmt0RQIV1Np
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 sure443Please respect copyright.PENANAZFVg3558Fx
443Please respect copyright.PENANA1XqvIQEzmY
Was there something she could do?443Please respect copyright.PENANAFk7rNkNXI1
443Please respect copyright.PENANAgPdAlYAvak
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 sun443Please respect copyright.PENANAL3wGK8qSNj
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3qMBN2LetO
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams443Please respect copyright.PENANAzMJLKp6vUp
443Please respect copyright.PENANA2bogZoE0Gu
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 face443Please respect copyright.PENANAmot8pETfcS
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMLz4v4jFNd
So it was real?443Please respect copyright.PENANAG8vWz5pXrs
443Please respect copyright.PENANAAEiuNkQmrW
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan443Please respect copyright.PENANAnKJd1RGYdr
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUSVz9Iy83e
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 her443Please respect copyright.PENANAqpnAAq87x4
443Please respect copyright.PENANABWtaa12mzR
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work443Please respect copyright.PENANAvNTs5bcqMp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAuQLtIzpskQ
But it was worth the shot443Please respect copyright.PENANAo0CP0k7jC0
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcf8m1l4lno
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 way443Please respect copyright.PENANAgFh9tMjK3n
443Please respect copyright.PENANA0k1BYc1VWq
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 trip443Please respect copyright.PENANAsDqLJjzEG4
443Please respect copyright.PENANABpipGLmNg5
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief443Please respect copyright.PENANA0qy7r9HQuL
443Please respect copyright.PENANAOC6w4x8tnP
443Please respect copyright.PENANA6EtWtBA9fF
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 floor443Please respect copyright.PENANAbihKFDnrdC
443Please respect copyright.PENANAT2ADuU6bsd
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work443Please respect copyright.PENANAVqgTY0LTIj
443Please respect copyright.PENANA941MB6558P
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAHwihiRyrQb
443Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SehkKUiU
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAxThYwIx4qW
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3cVCU9M3Kc
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. 443Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q2Rzj9iCM
443Please respect copyright.PENANASccCDWaVsA
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. 443Please respect copyright.PENANAgPKDk18Q14
443Please respect copyright.PENANAC097kJkDVV
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANA48Ip5u98NT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjAowesnVdt
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.443Please respect copyright.PENANAbxDfzReBnt
443Please respect copyright.PENANAs6vBgxmjmq
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 cloak443Please respect copyright.PENANAcPVZSxBwWf
443Please respect copyright.PENANAForbPgEBkn
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 443Please respect copyright.PENANAffbBc0A69R
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3grwbWyx7S
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANARwjeZbEXDX
443Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ckRxru17
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANA4etQ6THRS5
443Please respect copyright.PENANAqLYwS38U6F
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAHuVq3MKehY
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxrKjc7QMvg
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up443Please respect copyright.PENANA0vyybWhNZD
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhGjeYHGg9X
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.443Please respect copyright.PENANAcFGCfxDBZp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjNxz5bI1yw
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.443Please respect copyright.PENANAFrSxQd5fpN
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaVOecMFKDR
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAIyN8HBgXAz
