"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 item492Please respect copyright.PENANA6X7vK0D81a
492Please respect copyright.PENANAo9ZBo8JTZa
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her492Please respect copyright.PENANA8bmtdFzeR2
492Please respect copyright.PENANAg6YrKKVFKc
"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 second492Please respect copyright.PENANA2bJlzNeFtK
492Please respect copyright.PENANAyxAtpM2VzJ
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"492Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xdqu0IZod
492Please respect copyright.PENANAjT0jK6b1ay
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 movie492Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Rf3vS5Dj
492Please respect copyright.PENANAZUyl1AhHSI
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 body492Please respect copyright.PENANA5nq5ZnQeA7
492Please respect copyright.PENANAPi18Zd24HA
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?492Please respect copyright.PENANAANdDI7CCko
492Please respect copyright.PENANAuJQnb0k9wo
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 bed492Please respect copyright.PENANAc9SJfzmL7w
492Please respect copyright.PENANAlt6zkPh5FV
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 time492Please respect copyright.PENANAzFCWGcBFJv
492Please respect copyright.PENANAwBOxDS1Rmv
"Ah, shit!" She screamed492Please respect copyright.PENANAcaNOtWgZoq
492Please respect copyright.PENANANH0uOpNEBi
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 shoes492Please respect copyright.PENANAE4vLbGTBkC
492Please respect copyright.PENANAzUOunxJbpw
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 good492Please respect copyright.PENANAfX3agfnRyf
492Please respect copyright.PENANABiEnyTW6ox
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 tardiness492Please respect copyright.PENANAASgAqo3Yqz
492Please respect copyright.PENANAExQTUL33VG
Alex cursed when the bell rang 492Please respect copyright.PENANAlJd2yJCQzJ
492Please respect copyright.PENANA3prXsJXZS6
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 sure492Please respect copyright.PENANA0dPXjOubxU
492Please respect copyright.PENANAyoQO8vBNEk
Was there something she could do?492Please respect copyright.PENANAaVUOK4cvBe
492Please respect copyright.PENANAQcm3QAL1Ec
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 sun492Please respect copyright.PENANAwoNa9TdqOp
492Please respect copyright.PENANABFFZPyIUXh
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams492Please respect copyright.PENANAD5WcPmGWc1
492Please respect copyright.PENANAuhZc1BF6Vk
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 face492Please respect copyright.PENANALz3h3jP5rC
492Please respect copyright.PENANAQrNXgNxGxW
So it was real?492Please respect copyright.PENANAJezgemPDRg
492Please respect copyright.PENANAJlFrPr4Ax9
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan492Please respect copyright.PENANA36PyvDiUTS
492Please respect copyright.PENANAoRNK7xtaou
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 her492Please respect copyright.PENANAHII7C7tt6o
492Please respect copyright.PENANAgdaiiuU9ge
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work492Please respect copyright.PENANAgOvhNRpIFc
492Please respect copyright.PENANAFXmjjv8eCW
But it was worth the shot492Please respect copyright.PENANAzDWiWour1W
492Please respect copyright.PENANAXKR5lJBpYZ
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 way492Please respect copyright.PENANAE2u4E50cPQ
492Please respect copyright.PENANANtUuKROVpp
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 trip492Please respect copyright.PENANAR3hARlLoN3
492Please respect copyright.PENANA0CKjFBZwQV
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief492Please respect copyright.PENANA96N2xWDtA4
492Please respect copyright.PENANABtx6aFgyRd
492Please respect copyright.PENANAMEpqsOefGa
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 floor492Please respect copyright.PENANAV8FyNHoe4M
492Please respect copyright.PENANAk7ZrQmCx9F
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work492Please respect copyright.PENANAAFBrhBv60M
492Please respect copyright.PENANAyvn4Z3HRnt
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAlQjguze5Or
492Please respect copyright.PENANATcToMcUD00
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAuMKukPLlj2
492Please respect copyright.PENANAh5UeqowTbO
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. 492Please respect copyright.PENANA91ChkivpqO
492Please respect copyright.PENANATwQWr6GNEo
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. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAFvFhFwvLxi
492Please respect copyright.PENANAHsbkgat1NO
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAdlDeeRO83l
492Please respect copyright.PENANAjsPgOWEfIp
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.492Please respect copyright.PENANAKgyOvG3uHZ
492Please respect copyright.PENANA3utAAsMFMh
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 cloak492Please respect copyright.PENANA66rVaJHnrm
492Please respect copyright.PENANARDZGUqGK4J
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAmehBfGT2mW
492Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ0U19BqWi
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAhnrrEHZ7MA
492Please respect copyright.PENANAksWGjqr2Cc
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAzmWPRLtaTI
492Please respect copyright.PENANAlazams2p2V
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAA9GSVWbmkM
492Please respect copyright.PENANAF1b7RMKRfz
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up492Please respect copyright.PENANApzsmznZLNo
492Please respect copyright.PENANA0VbIjf2BPQ
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.492Please respect copyright.PENANACKtNzeYyUq
492Please respect copyright.PENANAxsheB8A0gE
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.492Please respect copyright.PENANA3t47aWwuRJ
492Please respect copyright.PENANALupUyA1j6U
"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."492Please respect copyright.PENANAffNkwxSQOE
