"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 item429Please respect copyright.PENANAxXFwPapIpH
429Please respect copyright.PENANA6wH3NEw6QO
"You can borrow it for a day." Harry explained to her429Please respect copyright.PENANAsFp5vFdgPT
429Please respect copyright.PENANAes5rkPoF1u
"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 second429Please respect copyright.PENANA1ti9hqvy4v
429Please respect copyright.PENANAGB9iJDjmfy
Then, she turned back to the visitor of another world, "How did you—"429Please respect copyright.PENANAa467gZ4xDv
429Please respect copyright.PENANAUYLEy5sff3
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 movie429Please respect copyright.PENANAvAAN3rviRT
429Please respect copyright.PENANAKjupKVbn7r
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 body429Please respect copyright.PENANAw9NCdLVJgb
429Please respect copyright.PENANA1TFYBpV4OF
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?429Please respect copyright.PENANAD8EAdOBRGB
429Please respect copyright.PENANA8cGANUO10k
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 bed429Please respect copyright.PENANAYAF0N2WkFt
429Please respect copyright.PENANAjjJZ0ptmQr
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 time429Please respect copyright.PENANAzq34EVeZzZ
429Please respect copyright.PENANAP44Waq54x5
"Ah, shit!" She screamed429Please respect copyright.PENANAHoD1SfmL7w
429Please respect copyright.PENANAkRG6IG2e3E
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 shoes429Please respect copyright.PENANAG1c6jzt4Dp
429Please respect copyright.PENANAoBXtxFk2QK
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 good429Please respect copyright.PENANApHIIl501C1
429Please respect copyright.PENANALcy0C46SNO
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 tardiness429Please respect copyright.PENANAlphSa5WNGN
429Please respect copyright.PENANA1UcQVYoA28
Alex cursed when the bell rang 429Please respect copyright.PENANAOXz7Q2R3VH
429Please respect copyright.PENANAAYhCvVMQ75
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 sure429Please respect copyright.PENANAF5fvF1oRw7
429Please respect copyright.PENANAXrznvKOPf0
Was there something she could do?429Please respect copyright.PENANABQKtfqx1ft
429Please respect copyright.PENANA3pewEsWD0L
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 sun429Please respect copyright.PENANAnPgGMwBPlC
429Please respect copyright.PENANA5XFB5YqFYO
A hazy dream replayed in her mind. It appeared vividly and vibrantly. She could make out all the details unlike her other dreams429Please respect copyright.PENANAmBnwdNARrV
429Please respect copyright.PENANA9JUZgnexXQ
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 face429Please respect copyright.PENANABQS9x91bcJ
429Please respect copyright.PENANAcdYjiSuZF3
So it was real?429Please respect copyright.PENANANVOsa3e7oz
429Please respect copyright.PENANAZcS7phcfpv
Her head snapped towards the school gates, already forming a plan429Please respect copyright.PENANA1hmhYwEowV
429Please respect copyright.PENANAdLgks9laaq
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 her429Please respect copyright.PENANAtaHXSm8jBF
429Please respect copyright.PENANAQXj9Q9AQBw
It probably looked ridiculous if it didn't work429Please respect copyright.PENANAVte4r9l9MO
429Please respect copyright.PENANAb1hN3E4luK
But it was worth the shot429Please respect copyright.PENANAidYa5QMTPL
429Please respect copyright.PENANAvvmppKzRIC
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 way429Please respect copyright.PENANAtaMmOQblvS
429Please respect copyright.PENANA999WeXxdRg
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 trip429Please respect copyright.PENANAbhSSXLQOJ0
429Please respect copyright.PENANAruICmBztao
Taking her time, she passed by the gates and entered the courtyard. She heaved a breath of relief429Please respect copyright.PENANAkFrjSovnwJ
429Please respect copyright.PENANAoC1LeCrpFh
429Please respect copyright.PENANA3WzRkXksLu
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 floor429Please respect copyright.PENANAIk6ENC4G2Q
429Please respect copyright.PENANAXIoW2cS5Gt
Maybe if she crouched and brisked walk... maybe that could work429Please respect copyright.PENANAHzh57bIaIK
429Please respect copyright.PENANAbSbLwWMXid
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAR7RAJcSqtI
429Please respect copyright.PENANApFJDwaGYmf
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAwoQ6avFuPF
429Please respect copyright.PENANAKrqkcl5IyJ
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. 429Please respect copyright.PENANAQXhiavbiaH
429Please respect copyright.PENANA2VRJP9wIeK
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. 429Please respect copyright.PENANAUtmyHa76vU
429Please respect copyright.PENANA7717GGtgUW
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAANXxyG99tV
429Please respect copyright.PENANAdHdHpcFWwn
"Good morning, Mrs. Tilly!" He greeted her homeroom teacher.429Please respect copyright.PENANAj3ECH5fKl0
429Please respect copyright.PENANAgHBIbNYRAn
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 cloak429Please respect copyright.PENANAYvLqq7LoWW
429Please respect copyright.PENANANuK3stuLoc
She didn't look at the other students, if anyone noticed a foot without a body. 429Please respect copyright.PENANAYswBLT4t8P
429Please respect copyright.PENANAltEQ7OkSjO
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAJAxfyCsC4r
429Please respect copyright.PENANAuXE3mxsP4B
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAK7yR0KLD9K
429Please respect copyright.PENANAtWE6ntfhja
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.429Please respect copyright.PENANAuBvx8HI48M
429Please respect copyright.PENANA7dzVy3GazD
"Man, what a bummer" she said loudly and got up429Please respect copyright.PENANAKfUOZzaajp
429Please respect copyright.PENANAjVu4KlbYus
Her seatmate, Logan, snapped his head towards her. She stared back lazily with a raised eyebrow.429Please respect copyright.PENANA3HqUqu2lkr
429Please respect copyright.PENANAtUtB1civKD
"When did you get here?" A horrified look filled his eyes.429Please respect copyright.PENANASZZRY82JO1
429Please respect copyright.PENANAD78756Gx3Z
"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."429Please respect copyright.PENANAHSTmdthZP7
