"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 item480Please respect copyright.PENANA6zdtTZDIqY
480Please respect copyright.PENANArNQ7QjHdbm
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her480Please respect copyright.PENANA3GUvlb7cT0
480Please respect copyright.PENANApcBWUTMcC6
"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 second480Please respect copyright.PENANAAenhtQ6cBt
480Please respect copyright.PENANANbODwVUWoS
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"480Please respect copyright.PENANAYunfYeKvyw
480Please respect copyright.PENANAyKQj44xO13
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 movie480Please respect copyright.PENANAtIcH36xq4g
480Please respect copyright.PENANAR8h9rMjdyC
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 body480Please respect copyright.PENANAEgU0J7edWH
480Please respect copyright.PENANAhyStE7fyDm
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?480Please respect copyright.PENANAr35t3Jc4aw
480Please respect copyright.PENANAyOebaJ4PAP
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 bed480Please respect copyright.PENANAhLpVm7VBx3
480Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsLjxLM0o
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 time480Please respect copyright.PENANAIhPHCo3KMA
480Please respect copyright.PENANAu3B2Gg4wPo
"Ah, shit!" She screamed480Please respect copyright.PENANA5wRB4dAG7V
480Please respect copyright.PENANA26yEmXs9vA
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 shoes480Please respect copyright.PENANAVtLabbtOuF
480Please respect copyright.PENANAgmCHe2fLGr
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 good480Please respect copyright.PENANAyLDDavZNvW
480Please respect copyright.PENANAMrIHud0tAo
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 tardiness480Please respect copyright.PENANAIUwHgTP9pn
480Please respect copyright.PENANAclo3KQzw4o
Alex cursed when the bell rang 480Please respect copyright.PENANAD47zukrp5D
480Please respect copyright.PENANA9VihS7XYaP
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 sure480Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIBNlp69s
480Please respect copyright.PENANAm3bssIJPNC
Was there something she could do?480Please respect copyright.PENANAgRSGE5lwSJ
480Please respect copyright.PENANAAP16eUDslc
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 sun480Please respect copyright.PENANAaR90bVCw6z
480Please respect copyright.PENANAWPfPvVv6Z7
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams480Please respect copyright.PENANASuk5bRf3ml
480Please respect copyright.PENANA5SXGgRVbmY
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 face480Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ1dUa5QkJ
480Please respect copyright.PENANAFI9uoIyvWm
So it was real?480Please respect copyright.PENANA9IKmWu2pSf
480Please respect copyright.PENANAvBhaLWaw6K
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan480Please respect copyright.PENANApEZVMtq06i
480Please respect copyright.PENANAeGLZaBsoOq
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 her480Please respect copyright.PENANABX0YsXKe0v
480Please respect copyright.PENANA2FzOeIQFG0
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work480Please respect copyright.PENANAlzQb7bZJ0Y
480Please respect copyright.PENANAjGCwjgGyuN
But it was worth the shot480Please respect copyright.PENANA6xgOqjHZW9
480Please respect copyright.PENANAm4UiKf2f7L
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 way480Please respect copyright.PENANAZER0AmrWWM
480Please respect copyright.PENANAB0m3fo7wD3
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 trip480Please respect copyright.PENANArG8cEMGurk
480Please respect copyright.PENANAUMfPaGQIAz
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief480Please respect copyright.PENANAZux6qspckf
480Please respect copyright.PENANA8gpqhoJBrH
480Please respect copyright.PENANAmKi6oyZ2Wi
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 floor480Please respect copyright.PENANAIHFL8iaX95
480Please respect copyright.PENANAtIB3pesq34
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work480Please respect copyright.PENANAwdYPkcfe0p
480Please respect copyright.PENANA1wZdBWfC3Y
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAtQremo8sMn
480Please respect copyright.PENANAPBOhMEaQi8
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXJe39yZW
480Please respect copyright.PENANAVkjqvojCY3
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. 480Please respect copyright.PENANAbvBBz45E10
480Please respect copyright.PENANAlbPfg8x1p6
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. 480Please respect copyright.PENANAb8mFCXuHJK
480Please respect copyright.PENANAAgR2hA5LMx
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAoKn4lWUzsn
480Please respect copyright.PENANAFiN9G1swPj
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.480Please respect copyright.PENANAUok8J7yYe2
480Please respect copyright.PENANAPHCjvh565x
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 cloak480Please respect copyright.PENANANw7JYrGdHp
480Please respect copyright.PENANABF7iVvc6Sz
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 480Please respect copyright.PENANA6QXoQCkLLi
480Please respect copyright.PENANAsP1zOJhI0V
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAbviuSgVT9D
480Please respect copyright.PENANAdsKImr6CTk
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAOkKVPkgsAk
480Please respect copyright.PENANAj62lPFExdV
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.480Please respect copyright.PENANAaWH7M2mRpt
480Please respect copyright.PENANAwAIAAbU54B
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up480Please respect copyright.PENANAMSYsD6iHMC
480Please respect copyright.PENANAsORGpeuz99
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.480Please respect copyright.PENANATSv83cAYUC
480Please respect copyright.PENANAvkTMwdgazw
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.480Please respect copyright.PENANA163MYzTktL
480Please respect copyright.PENANATxAXX9V4ID
"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."480Please respect copyright.PENANAbsh1UUdrpv
