"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 item279Please respect copyright.PENANA2iv9wz1BWu
279Please respect copyright.PENANAghgbL06W9b
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her279Please respect copyright.PENANARElk01hxUI
279Please respect copyright.PENANAGLdOuvcUYM
"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 second279Please respect copyright.PENANA2IHL5bhz8z
279Please respect copyright.PENANA940zLnJstY
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"279Please respect copyright.PENANAtnN3YPpL0N
279Please respect copyright.PENANA6L75wio0Ld
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 movie279Please respect copyright.PENANAB9BVBbswhJ
279Please respect copyright.PENANAKR14Vl3t3o
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 body279Please respect copyright.PENANA88NYdawMca
279Please respect copyright.PENANAM0JlwGMMZb
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?279Please respect copyright.PENANAbmUtItjXcZ
279Please respect copyright.PENANAS0AXoMAT6E
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 bed279Please respect copyright.PENANAyPL0p0TAWj
279Please respect copyright.PENANAF928zwOdBE
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 time279Please respect copyright.PENANAAf5eGkzxi4
279Please respect copyright.PENANAhKcAtQUPdm
"Ah, shit!" She screamed279Please respect copyright.PENANAFyvZ5H6ONV
279Please respect copyright.PENANAsxOTzxSuGs
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 shoes279Please respect copyright.PENANAHuxd1OtpLD
279Please respect copyright.PENANA4xAtUlihs0
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 good279Please respect copyright.PENANAkxXaOmPtvB
279Please respect copyright.PENANAgMueu6l3NF
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 tardiness279Please respect copyright.PENANAj186YVPbNq
279Please respect copyright.PENANAnccxs4kyoT
Alex cursed when the bell rang 279Please respect copyright.PENANAnt0Pbd4J4A
279Please respect copyright.PENANAG6rbo3UlTj
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 sure279Please respect copyright.PENANArWU4jnAsAg
279Please respect copyright.PENANAVn6mSJq18R
Was there something she could do?279Please respect copyright.PENANAxUOxmkEePq
279Please respect copyright.PENANAEoexkI31FV
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 sun279Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lx7srx25C
279Please respect copyright.PENANAmu4BZv53mR
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams279Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ5OSJUCIE
279Please respect copyright.PENANANBu4tqt1Wx
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 face279Please respect copyright.PENANAztH8D1LaYL
279Please respect copyright.PENANAtHV0rTPep2
So it was real?279Please respect copyright.PENANAQp1OkjUyFo
279Please respect copyright.PENANAdxpC7E25cZ
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan279Please respect copyright.PENANADxwY9KPd1c
279Please respect copyright.PENANA4nSWqSJcN4
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 her279Please respect copyright.PENANA4hCKsXevZv
279Please respect copyright.PENANAD4nbMAa5FD
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work279Please respect copyright.PENANAvk2JsMn2Lm
279Please respect copyright.PENANAnEG8OvORme
But it was worth the shot279Please respect copyright.PENANAuaQZP6pZjv
279Please respect copyright.PENANADR4EZdQMUW
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 way279Please respect copyright.PENANAtd09xzxSha
279Please respect copyright.PENANAgkg6OWyl81
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 trip279Please respect copyright.PENANAvlbLUdCO9i
279Please respect copyright.PENANA0iGzMee41j
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief279Please respect copyright.PENANAtRTa1HHpMO
279Please respect copyright.PENANA38A9BaioXb
279Please respect copyright.PENANAkKiXLKV3pS
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 floor279Please respect copyright.PENANAgX5242B0aw
279Please respect copyright.PENANAEvncMfLz9I
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work279Please respect copyright.PENANAZhF9wZhatk
279Please respect copyright.PENANAdCUeHPnTKb
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANAX6P65lXFLq
279Please respect copyright.PENANA7MHkK81wAh
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANAdvdPkIoSBQ
279Please respect copyright.PENANAnm0D5VXQv4
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. 279Please respect copyright.PENANAPWjbPxdpcD
279Please respect copyright.PENANAdHjMj0hC5D
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. 279Please respect copyright.PENANAb2hdZfclnv
279Please respect copyright.PENANAFvQSudX0w2
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Fx3IdgMA
279Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ9CMa8WSc
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.279Please respect copyright.PENANAe2u4QBUsgy
279Please respect copyright.PENANATeyXA6RKYj
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 cloak279Please respect copyright.PENANAO4zZ1iTvTZ
279Please respect copyright.PENANAAZzgXEOEMm
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 279Please respect copyright.PENANAcC7ZQdMOCJ
279Please respect copyright.PENANADtoBfMvdyQ
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANA71mF7z7Fbr
279Please respect copyright.PENANANuhXRLBYFz
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANAFMJOM2JpGF
279Please respect copyright.PENANA4UHCCiZVi6
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.279Please respect copyright.PENANA7ziJzpcdYy
279Please respect copyright.PENANAwtkaR89xDk
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up279Please respect copyright.PENANAuwA1bJocfE
279Please respect copyright.PENANAyegQ4gzJoa
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.279Please respect copyright.PENANAIQLXZQdFov
279Please respect copyright.PENANAw9CeJ3pEc0
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.279Please respect copyright.PENANAKwT8YBfNYG
279Please respect copyright.PENANAxDtojad5oa
"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."279Please respect copyright.PENANAMz1cJY2lpL
