"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 item273Please respect copyright.PENANAOXIQOGydqZ
273Please respect copyright.PENANAt4m3luoKYA
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her273Please respect copyright.PENANARdGGfu3cY9
273Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wb5gjlcdd
"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 second273Please respect copyright.PENANA80cC1US1lT
273Please respect copyright.PENANAjN3xZz96ci
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"273Please respect copyright.PENANAdwPzcpr8wr
273Please respect copyright.PENANAsEIKaY4SMQ
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 movie273Please respect copyright.PENANAiP9t9kPxvn
273Please respect copyright.PENANAEmQ8ebL8Og
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 body273Please respect copyright.PENANAOAx8JxZQzh
273Please respect copyright.PENANAu3wkNiDbxX
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?273Please respect copyright.PENANAy3zHHMXpdc
273Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Tm5attOC
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 bed273Please respect copyright.PENANAnzRw8C5xG6
273Please respect copyright.PENANAwmdQJDOq14
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 time273Please respect copyright.PENANA6yUqWnXmUJ
273Please respect copyright.PENANAtKSJlF6Gzm
"Ah, shit!" She screamed273Please respect copyright.PENANAyGncyvkBjq
273Please respect copyright.PENANALLRRXZ8sVY
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 shoes273Please respect copyright.PENANAfDlXXi0M77
273Please respect copyright.PENANAIUni9ySXxB
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 good273Please respect copyright.PENANA3rSx8G0Dop
273Please respect copyright.PENANAHCNqLJm9sq
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 tardiness273Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Lnk7hpTr
273Please respect copyright.PENANAAnIBpkESCm
Alex cursed when the bell rang 273Please respect copyright.PENANAmxJaLjsK5r
273Please respect copyright.PENANAPXBx385Tj2
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 sure273Please respect copyright.PENANAaxD6kQc40J
273Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q0lWd3Irw
Was there something she could do?273Please respect copyright.PENANAhNK80ua72n
273Please respect copyright.PENANAPvSh5RZaUL
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 sun273Please respect copyright.PENANA8JJoEY9BCX
273Please respect copyright.PENANAeZMqNSeOBW
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams273Please respect copyright.PENANADMInzglsWi
273Please respect copyright.PENANAPk1ZdqRl7J
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 face273Please respect copyright.PENANAfe3zKQF9KP
273Please respect copyright.PENANA93SEUZD63W
So it was real?273Please respect copyright.PENANAxMNIZyBA0d
273Please respect copyright.PENANAMOaDBiAtda
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan273Please respect copyright.PENANAdVkpcRoy55
273Please respect copyright.PENANAamLfId369T
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 her273Please respect copyright.PENANAvbidag5Ukq
273Please respect copyright.PENANAxLQcxlIrUm
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work273Please respect copyright.PENANAYMCrReKbRQ
273Please respect copyright.PENANAdKJK9GHboG
But it was worth the shot273Please respect copyright.PENANAi8yIx59LSs
273Please respect copyright.PENANArjVfhtqrvF
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 way273Please respect copyright.PENANANhLZsYlZag
273Please respect copyright.PENANAiIhLaDF4Tw
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 trip273Please respect copyright.PENANA3j0iljGSZs
273Please respect copyright.PENANARQ7blgul8L
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief273Please respect copyright.PENANAYrxgBUInqE
273Please respect copyright.PENANAAgeXrvr3iQ
273Please respect copyright.PENANAMnfk8sYcZu
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 floor273Please respect copyright.PENANAKlOriMd2Cz
273Please respect copyright.PENANAsVu3lgeR3p
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work273Please respect copyright.PENANAdrxAGL8MK1
273Please respect copyright.PENANAkN7udBSa2w
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANAp6DaX3yvUy
273Please respect copyright.PENANAaYrrmHWFFZ
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANAINqDGpMA1B
273Please respect copyright.PENANA5GbioEpTeg
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. 273Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vyjo0wbvD
273Please respect copyright.PENANA1ev6v0TMvI
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. 273Please respect copyright.PENANAAcZ6r6reAz
273Please respect copyright.PENANA56RadEbfeK
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANApa1p7CURyF
273Please respect copyright.PENANASLk91OTT9S
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.273Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMDaEBB9f
273Please respect copyright.PENANASLwzB3ndbp
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 cloak273Please respect copyright.PENANAAMR0hHreIo
273Please respect copyright.PENANAyJFIGDOD5q
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 273Please respect copyright.PENANAu3IG6Yvllb
273Please respect copyright.PENANA6pz81o6tCM
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANAZVNvAyd1f8
273Please respect copyright.PENANAG1K2RyA3pb
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANAu0BqsKfYCq
273Please respect copyright.PENANAhZiU4ORx04
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.273Please respect copyright.PENANANwFQTpzctk
273Please respect copyright.PENANAtP0sy5Lnql
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up273Please respect copyright.PENANAbUjut1dDD3
273Please respect copyright.PENANAn5MPaT87zL
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.273Please respect copyright.PENANAgWo5qikhnP
273Please respect copyright.PENANAY1OymyHsCj
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.273Please respect copyright.PENANAOg7rz3diVQ
273Please respect copyright.PENANArMENl7Fdps
"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."273Please respect copyright.PENANAXnubSDburK
