"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 item418Please respect copyright.PENANAIpfTDW17k6
418Please respect copyright.PENANAXqvAJ2gtip
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her418Please respect copyright.PENANA3yWQ1RcmJZ
418Please respect copyright.PENANAx1qG8QNWKQ
"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 second418Please respect copyright.PENANAyLmWbg2sLm
418Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z33LxW7Yf
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"418Please respect copyright.PENANA323xwSrDqD
418Please respect copyright.PENANAU5DiDwcA8K
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 movie418Please respect copyright.PENANAd0W1CP0XS5
418Please respect copyright.PENANAHHMfs1LvZ6
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 body418Please respect copyright.PENANAljRgveGgU6
418Please respect copyright.PENANA1j9fXyKWwd
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?418Please respect copyright.PENANAxCSnsGutJp
418Please respect copyright.PENANAGqeIjj9pie
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 bed418Please respect copyright.PENANAvUC5NLN7OQ
418Please respect copyright.PENANAPvkAif3JTi
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 time418Please respect copyright.PENANA80IMg9mQ5F
418Please respect copyright.PENANAFORb4yGwfU
"Ah, shit!" She screamed418Please respect copyright.PENANACg4zTXs4Jf
418Please respect copyright.PENANAexmZUo2X0H
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 shoes418Please respect copyright.PENANAwcJl6a1SRv
418Please respect copyright.PENANAeAp22RElSp
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 good418Please respect copyright.PENANAINdErcSil3
418Please respect copyright.PENANANsYCaSKmxn
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 tardiness418Please respect copyright.PENANA9WGhlq5NlS
418Please respect copyright.PENANAMkzQxRaZbI
Alex cursed when the bell rang 418Please respect copyright.PENANAFm3u8kaqLg
418Please respect copyright.PENANAIfi1ROQGcz
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 sure418Please respect copyright.PENANAxkgicUJZdr
418Please respect copyright.PENANAjT4TLaAAkW
Was there something she could do?418Please respect copyright.PENANAs8hjGGTPGZ
418Please respect copyright.PENANAooti3pwWO2
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 sun418Please respect copyright.PENANAZZitoB9oOD
418Please respect copyright.PENANAX1fRNjHlFd
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams418Please respect copyright.PENANAWHLEiMt9Na
418Please respect copyright.PENANAGnneerdzlv
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 face418Please respect copyright.PENANAvtQM1PK523
418Please respect copyright.PENANA2aJYa4tvEr
So it was real?418Please respect copyright.PENANAsiUIS3GtVm
418Please respect copyright.PENANA8EfvShE6Dv
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan418Please respect copyright.PENANAMPt2Dc59I6
418Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vqn48x9CZ
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 her418Please respect copyright.PENANAkrG9IH5AvW
418Please respect copyright.PENANAeHSWEHYW6H
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work418Please respect copyright.PENANAxY5hNDCdVt
418Please respect copyright.PENANA6PPGx8DEFJ
But it was worth the shot418Please respect copyright.PENANA01Fg3PVoXI
418Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3PgZ1m6xB
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 way418Please respect copyright.PENANAsoqKqywDlN
418Please respect copyright.PENANAM7ygWJrKZO
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 trip418Please respect copyright.PENANA4yeNvvRWfH
418Please respect copyright.PENANARIRaGoYljB
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief418Please respect copyright.PENANAjPsvVFXEFs
418Please respect copyright.PENANAj35Kc6zOvZ
418Please respect copyright.PENANAvm6uHqu0Kx
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 floor418Please respect copyright.PENANAFfzDw16DuW
418Please respect copyright.PENANAjorKUput0R
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work418Please respect copyright.PENANAPeJ27Zaht5
418Please respect copyright.PENANATLMfMpZ4Wg
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAbN3ggwCyoe
418Please respect copyright.PENANAT9jP7w5W9j
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAJoF27TUn8n
418Please respect copyright.PENANAd2XyBZ6yL0
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. 418Please respect copyright.PENANAdsFRAAPXRH
418Please respect copyright.PENANAtT3e8gvdJ3
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. 418Please respect copyright.PENANAD3893r9NUr
418Please respect copyright.PENANAOJeXuwupOS
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAqd5dvRt0Hl
418Please respect copyright.PENANA0MAGz4UBBy
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.418Please respect copyright.PENANAUBfubgiQMj
418Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q5GRJmalK
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 cloak418Please respect copyright.PENANA9wcQHdUMmf
418Please respect copyright.PENANASDtxl0RYTP
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 418Please respect copyright.PENANA21EGC9XA9R
418Please respect copyright.PENANA1MY0ZzBCd1
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAgwjcUWINN6
418Please respect copyright.PENANAI9DMPWtH51
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAR9szUNJrUj
418Please respect copyright.PENANAnQZuweybe0
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANA9kDUsYKns7
418Please respect copyright.PENANA27NSWriLmv
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up418Please respect copyright.PENANAvVKIRc33x4
418Please respect copyright.PENANAXyWtsbqY0L
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.418Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0vQpiAI3
418Please respect copyright.PENANAKhuds3lPId
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.418Please respect copyright.PENANA5VtpWp8Vf9
418Please respect copyright.PENANAuZOmoaBPMn
"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."418Please respect copyright.PENANAfSqVrb2ORg
