"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 item491Please respect copyright.PENANAkAypon5G5b
491Please respect copyright.PENANAiatdA1NDd6
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her491Please respect copyright.PENANAgxNr7L9Ru8
491Please respect copyright.PENANAMXaJMegSlG
"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 second491Please respect copyright.PENANAo8j2MRq06k
491Please respect copyright.PENANA4oqtJza2P8
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"491Please respect copyright.PENANAc5zWsfQSQm
491Please respect copyright.PENANAJpsKLFMg9O
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 movie491Please respect copyright.PENANAj3eT33VCU2
491Please respect copyright.PENANAxmFUHUyi8J
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 body491Please respect copyright.PENANADwZPzRRWax
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZFJZDeEFKO
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?491Please respect copyright.PENANADXsFt5ftEA
491Please respect copyright.PENANAmamEBIftUR
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 bed491Please respect copyright.PENANAaew80lIabR
491Please respect copyright.PENANAKJCCvwA0jm
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 time491Please respect copyright.PENANAwq1qVPuBQk
491Please respect copyright.PENANALdvEWZ97Ss
"Ah, shit!" She screamed491Please respect copyright.PENANA4buPmWIHkU
491Please respect copyright.PENANAzeyYufhUrL
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 shoes491Please respect copyright.PENANAnZQRaCKp5b
491Please respect copyright.PENANAAY5F1ScBjp
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 good491Please respect copyright.PENANAbPn2LEIH1K
491Please respect copyright.PENANA35MwNQ9jri
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 tardiness491Please respect copyright.PENANAHoslmZvOHx
491Please respect copyright.PENANAfr9SlCgmEN
Alex cursed when the bell rang 491Please respect copyright.PENANAMDjPrzjc1l
491Please respect copyright.PENANArx2mNfrca3
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 sure491Please respect copyright.PENANA6gSeQQBrAD
491Please respect copyright.PENANAFrqMLLYm4r
Was there something she could do?491Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPwsiy5EJ
491Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2WX9oC5FP
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 sun491Please respect copyright.PENANAnGvMjOXn7r
491Please respect copyright.PENANAlydbGcpaMD
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams491Please respect copyright.PENANAFGhL9Yzmj9
491Please respect copyright.PENANAeiU4kGB1wG
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 face491Please respect copyright.PENANAJoAAkz039a
491Please respect copyright.PENANA8PnHG9KkyY
So it was real?491Please respect copyright.PENANAD3aCswvH5N
491Please respect copyright.PENANATOd0L1mom3
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan491Please respect copyright.PENANA0ua9biqENW
491Please respect copyright.PENANAKgUVK5pXep
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 her491Please respect copyright.PENANAAweG2ng1m3
491Please respect copyright.PENANAnuv333D1P7
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work491Please respect copyright.PENANAKeXzSJcQpo
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZswgr4JFP3
But it was worth the shot491Please respect copyright.PENANABnfD3HrwS6
491Please respect copyright.PENANAmNE4R9tUL5
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 way491Please respect copyright.PENANAia8qwyRjtk
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3PXeAihXVp
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 trip491Please respect copyright.PENANArCYXmMPZmd
491Please respect copyright.PENANAQekZByTB8n
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief491Please respect copyright.PENANAddGTMEtjOT
491Please respect copyright.PENANAnQNSGEfAOz
491Please respect copyright.PENANAbW21BGRwTH
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 floor491Please respect copyright.PENANA1CKYpyFvrS
491Please respect copyright.PENANAlNH6OgDbNv
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work491Please respect copyright.PENANANFvb7HRphX
491Please respect copyright.PENANAocbA2PIrRl
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAiVbgVXcpef
491Please respect copyright.PENANAGKwIS7jc19
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANA3h8gEq578e
491Please respect copyright.PENANA52L1X3rEG0
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWwk3DYju
491Please respect copyright.PENANABlzGid6Jrm
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAsdP4Kt4Te8
491Please respect copyright.PENANA8MdnjvpIu4
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANALCIgalOw3w
491Please respect copyright.PENANARwb2yVDKmV
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbK07UtldLt
491Please respect copyright.PENANAoziTsFvvEo
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 cloak491Please respect copyright.PENANA4jCQYdgMlv
491Please respect copyright.PENANAXv8nDNrTBq
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA7KZ5gjgv47
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3TWBv1jCWE
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAOUIUDG0dyG
491Please respect copyright.PENANAw2QgSHjHVJ
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbSEm2Rc2Ke
491Please respect copyright.PENANA688GGsAst9
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAnuco7L9D7V
491Please respect copyright.PENANAyqsGqIYug6
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up491Please respect copyright.PENANA5IoCyWbjQF
491Please respect copyright.PENANAGpA9ZHsiNy
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbbbUCzU6H7
491Please respect copyright.PENANAmfoMtYJH0T
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.491Please respect copyright.PENANAvxdeLa4jfl
491Please respect copyright.PENANATo4CzUKh51
"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."491Please respect copyright.PENANAF8X78zy3pM
