"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 item507Please respect copyright.PENANABULa53MTp8
507Please respect copyright.PENANA50WsVw9t53
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her507Please respect copyright.PENANAjigyCGmfKx
507Please respect copyright.PENANAby1jFjbqqe
"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 second507Please respect copyright.PENANAfXdj0fbtrf
507Please respect copyright.PENANAWlIEK96PKU
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"507Please respect copyright.PENANAt0u30nsNej
507Please respect copyright.PENANAMUCoq3zDB9
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 movie507Please respect copyright.PENANAecou3nDJDR
507Please respect copyright.PENANA8w1J5TLjun
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 body507Please respect copyright.PENANAuLf6ykQda8
507Please respect copyright.PENANAAkBkJfyNpL
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?507Please respect copyright.PENANAUmp8wEv87p
507Please respect copyright.PENANAnXpbPmSBeG
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 bed507Please respect copyright.PENANAtLf5jEPHlq
507Please respect copyright.PENANAB29x61x37i
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 time507Please respect copyright.PENANANNzdf8qjxe
507Please respect copyright.PENANAMWu6gTNyzP
"Ah, shit!" She screamed507Please respect copyright.PENANAlnj1kJKs69
507Please respect copyright.PENANAiNLVsVG7Cx
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 shoes507Please respect copyright.PENANA1O8hhCiJ7q
507Please respect copyright.PENANAD68nvGNm5I
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 good507Please respect copyright.PENANAmipYXDgEqW
507Please respect copyright.PENANAGwHLEZsZTK
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 tardiness507Please respect copyright.PENANAvjMvuOCmYC
507Please respect copyright.PENANAMWUJxAlvSq
Alex cursed when the bell rang 507Please respect copyright.PENANAs9ydH2c6zE
507Please respect copyright.PENANAkW1dPzPGuf
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 sure507Please respect copyright.PENANAik0Q6VTdCh
507Please respect copyright.PENANAzCuXQfOD8c
Was there something she could do?507Please respect copyright.PENANA6hOpfA5sas
507Please respect copyright.PENANA2d23qooHVp
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 sun507Please respect copyright.PENANAATg4wTmEKa
507Please respect copyright.PENANAEMUU9iJcbD
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams507Please respect copyright.PENANA38418eWZLj
507Please respect copyright.PENANActmtphQufB
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 face507Please respect copyright.PENANA0dZInQROB8
507Please respect copyright.PENANAZiYWHJvi6f
So it was real?507Please respect copyright.PENANAoxxlBvefv2
507Please respect copyright.PENANAVUvsPGsWEA
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan507Please respect copyright.PENANAyveMmzjZiW
507Please respect copyright.PENANAcHijxXSh75
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 her507Please respect copyright.PENANARo3wx0sB7l
507Please respect copyright.PENANAQITTcEM1bi
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work507Please respect copyright.PENANAqXxJNBVThv
507Please respect copyright.PENANAXDA6aD3oDc
But it was worth the shot507Please respect copyright.PENANAV7qBemnpmj
507Please respect copyright.PENANACvFP0Xb8IP
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 way507Please respect copyright.PENANAaTyaKPfgrz
507Please respect copyright.PENANAzjZaOIoYwv
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 trip507Please respect copyright.PENANAJrpzXX4aAF
507Please respect copyright.PENANAzPfELoR95t
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief507Please respect copyright.PENANAC3lDEwpm8Q
507Please respect copyright.PENANA1sKR9ZzkBI
507Please respect copyright.PENANAuKVEknwuDO
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 floor507Please respect copyright.PENANAgeM6sbjUcZ
507Please respect copyright.PENANAQABn0zST6l
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work507Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qvy8NHCjO
507Please respect copyright.PENANAhq1QqH2T71
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXXfMOr6ZBx
507Please respect copyright.PENANA1q9hYXs6BD
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAWlzp6kbCle
507Please respect copyright.PENANAU9vDY19jho
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. 507Please respect copyright.PENANA6qRjNcZemi
507Please respect copyright.PENANAqMMyVpL4h0
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. 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwkZ3BqIbDo
507Please respect copyright.PENANATxIHNNW6aE
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAxuv6TQtpAR
507Please respect copyright.PENANAQBsUfKDiyC
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ7SvVWpi8
507Please respect copyright.PENANAeMJ6nCkSaC
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 cloak507Please respect copyright.PENANAAzCyCHVwx2
507Please respect copyright.PENANAQC6txmGbSX
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 507Please respect copyright.PENANAxJITLo1BwM
507Please respect copyright.PENANAyqRcZrT3WI
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAuAyfiWIpcc
507Please respect copyright.PENANABz5XNmAXD5
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgKCG5N9vlL
507Please respect copyright.PENANATxuV9ugdSD
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAjWRrTPdz6G
507Please respect copyright.PENANA37RdZ836du
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up507Please respect copyright.PENANAZpweqDdE74
507Please respect copyright.PENANA31qxpZjtJV
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXeRZ6861P3
507Please respect copyright.PENANAwF2JERGVSL
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.507Please respect copyright.PENANAsggDRRmWSC
507Please respect copyright.PENANAovQmKK5DwD
"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."507Please respect copyright.PENANANdaXaanLyZ
