"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 item290Please respect copyright.PENANAIySLbEMZRf
290Please respect copyright.PENANA57gpVYe426
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her290Please respect copyright.PENANAvd2iNj9SsZ
290Please respect copyright.PENANAcaFvHO6R4D
"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 second290Please respect copyright.PENANA1aCBEWJW8E
290Please respect copyright.PENANAl3dba7Ofor
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"290Please respect copyright.PENANATkXpfi6vUY
290Please respect copyright.PENANANMaPPcVnnw
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 movie290Please respect copyright.PENANA6xjxJOVAoY
290Please respect copyright.PENANA7judJYxK1z
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 body290Please respect copyright.PENANAVfXAXdmWvM
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhYEnAZd490
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?290Please respect copyright.PENANAuMwyhRzFsD
290Please respect copyright.PENANAPrpsIhEDDD
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 bed290Please respect copyright.PENANAe9o6FV40eb
290Please respect copyright.PENANAFt57WyxMLX
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 time290Please respect copyright.PENANAUorPWz6SRI
290Please respect copyright.PENANAum9SCJjS5L
"Ah, shit!" She screamed290Please respect copyright.PENANAkxovNyORyv
290Please respect copyright.PENANA7qBDXXRVhG
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 shoes290Please respect copyright.PENANAQnPAWvNUqc
290Please respect copyright.PENANASM0bVgx9V4
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 good290Please respect copyright.PENANAReBv4GgxZ2
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlnH0Dfxv51
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 tardiness290Please respect copyright.PENANAfPnBOsEDES
290Please respect copyright.PENANA7LIcm6EeWX
Alex cursed when the bell rang 290Please respect copyright.PENANAUFPKGi0qG2
290Please respect copyright.PENANANHXngyWGJl
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 sure290Please respect copyright.PENANAqnj5qOrMFp
290Please respect copyright.PENANAexyEFjLX5h
Was there something she could do?290Please respect copyright.PENANA62VKLmezw2
290Please respect copyright.PENANAdgGnGe7BHW
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 sun290Please respect copyright.PENANAU7NLUNNu1q
290Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZwzdpfH1
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams290Please respect copyright.PENANA4mG78iDzmE
290Please respect copyright.PENANANMFM7RDYCr
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 face290Please respect copyright.PENANAqZICLxjmbN
290Please respect copyright.PENANA74Hjq3EpV5
So it was real?290Please respect copyright.PENANAQX8blsrlWt
290Please respect copyright.PENANAorjiioW4gd
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan290Please respect copyright.PENANAZMDgMMXsEI
290Please respect copyright.PENANAqGfHkr6W7D
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 her290Please respect copyright.PENANADUOPm9q0aM
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhaFRcVoZa1
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work290Please respect copyright.PENANANoDbjagBno
290Please respect copyright.PENANAjNykTnAX2g
But it was worth the shot290Please respect copyright.PENANAw0NhwEchXU
290Please respect copyright.PENANAPwojBVBXQi
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 way290Please respect copyright.PENANA3RjjpkMtMc
290Please respect copyright.PENANANrvc1po4EZ
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 trip290Please respect copyright.PENANAvRl0QS5Pu8
290Please respect copyright.PENANAH0NHA1rlqh
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief290Please respect copyright.PENANAMEKmAZOzcK
290Please respect copyright.PENANAnVgGfie0cM
290Please respect copyright.PENANAd4APrsiBGP
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 floor290Please respect copyright.PENANAQXS5PmrGQs
290Please respect copyright.PENANAEAzJvY8U40
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work290Please respect copyright.PENANApMJerTGUqG
290Please respect copyright.PENANAwuOOAWynvu
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAHOfM3DqTKt
290Please respect copyright.PENANAkrXgw6k9NW
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA22xqh2lQnA
290Please respect copyright.PENANAFKbUO3qcnK
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. 290Please respect copyright.PENANAcaSslparAj
290Please respect copyright.PENANAcdnMREaeua
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. 290Please respect copyright.PENANAr4P3PhyoU8
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhEEAqyMKRi
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANANSCPH52N6Q
290Please respect copyright.PENANAWuxz07ZCaM
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.290Please respect copyright.PENANADnCah1lsve
290Please respect copyright.PENANAjOBS5wbEdz
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 cloak290Please respect copyright.PENANA8g39X4JJJ3
290Please respect copyright.PENANAGdD4RUukne
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 290Please respect copyright.PENANAfHH4iZDvKW
290Please respect copyright.PENANA3lWClmdkSF
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAoVGemVNRMU
290Please respect copyright.PENANAbl7Xkgn0jK
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAiImULikPF2
290Please respect copyright.PENANAoTsueRgU1f
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAQxc1l087VA
290Please respect copyright.PENANADQKivahkK8
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up290Please respect copyright.PENANAkF9MBquAye
290Please respect copyright.PENANAkpvIqWA0Y7
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.290Please respect copyright.PENANA0lkBzwskF9
290Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Fu9mB0Ig
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.290Please respect copyright.PENANAlyIWBawpBQ
290Please respect copyright.PENANAr1iideUG1I
"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."290Please respect copyright.PENANAtwGa3QQ2dS
