"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 item479Please respect copyright.PENANAxkfzo0h63F
479Please respect copyright.PENANAsx6LNfoNdV
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her479Please respect copyright.PENANAlLO6dSlmFr
479Please respect copyright.PENANAnPFJHXFBwK
"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 second479Please respect copyright.PENANAwDEyihn4xl
479Please respect copyright.PENANAVhN2sWnpKz
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"479Please respect copyright.PENANA7cCaprbYwx
479Please respect copyright.PENANA3z0LfFDwFG
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 movie479Please respect copyright.PENANAl0RPYLllaW
479Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4gaVWqZp7
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 body479Please respect copyright.PENANAiNgGVpLe3f
479Please respect copyright.PENANAuX0jE8wAIt
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?479Please respect copyright.PENANAf1D3IzHTGO
479Please respect copyright.PENANAo141vrVOid
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 bed479Please respect copyright.PENANAGNbRDFiHoH
479Please respect copyright.PENANA0eF28hySug
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 time479Please respect copyright.PENANAp8mUjUErr9
479Please respect copyright.PENANAsnT9IpNS0C
"Ah, shit!" She screamed479Please respect copyright.PENANAn3sBsr3FnE
479Please respect copyright.PENANAYqTymwdXDn
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 shoes479Please respect copyright.PENANAINE4FtFpkC
479Please respect copyright.PENANAn092dhGmse
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 good479Please respect copyright.PENANA0jPrhUKxHW
479Please respect copyright.PENANA2h0sBLxKAN
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 tardiness479Please respect copyright.PENANAfPf7C14ACq
479Please respect copyright.PENANAtRS0ZWYe3u
Alex cursed when the bell rang 479Please respect copyright.PENANARkltgHz9Nd
479Please respect copyright.PENANA5aTBGl65O3
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 sure479Please respect copyright.PENANAqeMLfe0ZIQ
479Please respect copyright.PENANAuT5BjFBXgo
Was there something she could do?479Please respect copyright.PENANAIP40Upjk8t
479Please respect copyright.PENANAb7jj4STzLG
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 sun479Please respect copyright.PENANAadbjpOQEHn
479Please respect copyright.PENANAn0mMC5O4o1
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams479Please respect copyright.PENANAO5QPlbaRjQ
479Please respect copyright.PENANASqXUW2DiVc
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 face479Please respect copyright.PENANAUEKzJMbRtW
479Please respect copyright.PENANAwOOV5XPe9g
So it was real?479Please respect copyright.PENANAbonfZRF1tL
479Please respect copyright.PENANA3vgt61LkeM
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan479Please respect copyright.PENANAnmUtOeARVO
479Please respect copyright.PENANAVPKtoBkOT9
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 her479Please respect copyright.PENANA20U2jF0QGs
479Please respect copyright.PENANAyoUZicuO4K
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work479Please respect copyright.PENANApyfKcP6E8g
479Please respect copyright.PENANAo6bZJeB6F8
But it was worth the shot479Please respect copyright.PENANAW5hSvJHyYd
479Please respect copyright.PENANAJNtVNq5Ehu
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 way479Please respect copyright.PENANAhGHMC0CLb2
479Please respect copyright.PENANANEorc4Z7q5
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 trip479Please respect copyright.PENANA8X0xmxST0V
479Please respect copyright.PENANA1c6EFFEKly
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief479Please respect copyright.PENANAQVhqWTrKCI
479Please respect copyright.PENANAmzPxNhX2Jk
479Please respect copyright.PENANAenCZjITrAC
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 floor479Please respect copyright.PENANAEFREcTzImV
479Please respect copyright.PENANAkbHdKQoAwi
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work479Please respect copyright.PENANAiUQqxuzxn4
479Please respect copyright.PENANAhWbaLMFvxq
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAczvR3Ch32S
479Please respect copyright.PENANAKTBiEWX5Zz
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAliHtJBbrjc
479Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZdaIUaAVB
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. 479Please respect copyright.PENANARS2aMY1Azy
479Please respect copyright.PENANAK9qry6Ai69
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. 479Please respect copyright.PENANAUCKSPwQSnv
479Please respect copyright.PENANAqCfYu0QH8a
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAHpmZP0L3aI
479Please respect copyright.PENANAo6FE5tQwYh
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.479Please respect copyright.PENANAduOeqhofJr
479Please respect copyright.PENANA8jd5DaJW9b
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 cloak479Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ca8CsVeh0
479Please respect copyright.PENANAYh0jxSWB2m
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 479Please respect copyright.PENANA7OHZp1M09l
479Please respect copyright.PENANAwY8sqrJlHH
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAtT1FgWyXD6
479Please respect copyright.PENANA8UoGoW5BiQ
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAXa1Z9uQK19
479Please respect copyright.PENANA3zJK6NUF4R
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAih7IS8h7FS
479Please respect copyright.PENANANcWf5dAGBU
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up479Please respect copyright.PENANAphKMhpu0NG
479Please respect copyright.PENANAUEs02dDfJw
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.479Please respect copyright.PENANAE0z3RZVnkS
479Please respect copyright.PENANAiXyXaiIGCQ
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.479Please respect copyright.PENANADDYg6dUD9n
479Please respect copyright.PENANAQIVqPhChwF
"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."479Please respect copyright.PENANAvny4H6p3pa
