"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 item291Please respect copyright.PENANANEGm8Y9L82
291Please respect copyright.PENANAXvH3SGT1vb
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her291Please respect copyright.PENANA0MXrOIU3Yt
291Please respect copyright.PENANAnEsCGiit8Z
"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 second291Please respect copyright.PENANAYrVtrNNr2L
291Please respect copyright.PENANAUvoQqgOBDJ
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"291Please respect copyright.PENANAUmdc7gDsp4
291Please respect copyright.PENANAq8awhAwBbZ
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 movie291Please respect copyright.PENANAchznekKioq
291Please respect copyright.PENANAhcEgDaB6sR
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 body291Please respect copyright.PENANANh2ZNp2TDH
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8wOxocJTSt
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?291Please respect copyright.PENANA95eUglA0I1
291Please respect copyright.PENANAaMh8hzE1tz
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 bed291Please respect copyright.PENANAy9mwlCmG5h
291Please respect copyright.PENANAOCVXOFlvV6
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 time291Please respect copyright.PENANAYYqmI1wXMV
291Please respect copyright.PENANAJR2mABjDaN
"Ah, shit!" She screamed291Please respect copyright.PENANA71XwGYPyy8
291Please respect copyright.PENANACE3sATk22q
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 shoes291Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ41D2vyfA
291Please respect copyright.PENANAfphrhmvCfk
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 good291Please respect copyright.PENANAFdNXC7eGBk
291Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUdrIH2ox
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 tardiness291Please respect copyright.PENANABsYHTmJP6D
291Please respect copyright.PENANACERgqX70yo
Alex cursed when the bell rang 291Please respect copyright.PENANAdszWsqQGlb
291Please respect copyright.PENANAjea2OohxUU
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 sure291Please respect copyright.PENANAIgphBYAndq
291Please respect copyright.PENANA2oiqRYnLx0
Was there something she could do?291Please respect copyright.PENANA1EZETfVa3t
291Please respect copyright.PENANAJllumENPiV
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 sun291Please respect copyright.PENANAGFWy3rE6Bx
291Please respect copyright.PENANAts5WUQ7VMm
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams291Please respect copyright.PENANAuBkv72DjTO
291Please respect copyright.PENANAOV9NEWPKOp
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 face291Please respect copyright.PENANAXb7Qvi6aiB
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5uCPutzEDE
So it was real?291Please respect copyright.PENANAx3OQeZ045I
291Please respect copyright.PENANA1fM7UUjyRs
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan291Please respect copyright.PENANApZ9yKyhEOm
291Please respect copyright.PENANAHnfHeNFsqY
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 her291Please respect copyright.PENANAcIXjDPHV92
291Please respect copyright.PENANAn4M2PNfmwA
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work291Please respect copyright.PENANA1HWeqksHoS
291Please respect copyright.PENANAvz3hORWTp7
But it was worth the shot291Please respect copyright.PENANAHyAWj5eydQ
291Please respect copyright.PENANAmgWTcbfsZ8
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 way291Please respect copyright.PENANAXywmi50tr6
291Please respect copyright.PENANAzLP1kHjcTd
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 trip291Please respect copyright.PENANAqA77AfqPny
291Please respect copyright.PENANAk0zKiV2Dqq
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief291Please respect copyright.PENANAtZj075oJbX
291Please respect copyright.PENANAFPqvz83sKi
291Please respect copyright.PENANAJC9BCwjYP4
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 floor291Please respect copyright.PENANAnrnVTK8EZ0
291Please respect copyright.PENANA663g03xmc1
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work291Please respect copyright.PENANA5PrswZYqKc
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5oyDNxcHax
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAPIDBbWjkli
291Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Omy7CCb2
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA9BmENNa4Le
291Please respect copyright.PENANAabyOWj44z7
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. 291Please respect copyright.PENANAaH5lGkz3uc
291Please respect copyright.PENANAnhNyoEl2mm
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. 291Please respect copyright.PENANAJhRDKTlECq
291Please respect copyright.PENANANxGNThdldr
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q5O1pqDOk
291Please respect copyright.PENANAiZkCNwAlvn
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.291Please respect copyright.PENANAuI996huRoh
291Please respect copyright.PENANAOgWgG4ggv2
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 cloak291Please respect copyright.PENANAskokWkTsR3
291Please respect copyright.PENANAXzIe7loA1m
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 291Please respect copyright.PENANAEJNjlDlnio
291Please respect copyright.PENANAmlqVv2ehwF
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAxQEzIjELlC
291Please respect copyright.PENANAXf2Br4orRY
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANARBpj8LZDIo
291Please respect copyright.PENANAvRIWoZHmTj
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANATIWuaW3X0L
291Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6QijwnQ8o
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up291Please respect copyright.PENANAOpC2uolIlJ
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8e39IHirCT
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.291Please respect copyright.PENANA31PaVQpXbs
291Please respect copyright.PENANAt5jViKWe0O
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.291Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7BijJW5AF
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8D0UtBDcqI
"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."291Please respect copyright.PENANAGWx93NsgEA
