Rock Cake Recipe(from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold butter, cut into chunks
1 large egg
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup raisins

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a large cookie sheet. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. With your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture reaches the consistency of wet sand. (Side note: I realize that butter on the fingers doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but it was interesting. Don’t be afraid of butter!)

2. Beat the egg together with the milk and pour it into the flour-butter mixture. Fold it together using a spatula to form a stiff dough. Fold in the raisins. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

3. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bottoms are golden, rotating the pan midway through baking.

I decided to do this recipe because I love Harry Potter and everything about it. I got this cookbook for my birthday this year and I  saw this and immediately thought, 'I absolutely need to try this!'. I just had to try it before sharing it with anyone else, as it could have been gross.They weren't though, so feel free to try them whenever! They are perfect as a breakfast snack with some butter on them, heated up in the microwave. I hope you will like them as much as I did.
                                         

BTW, if you want them as hard and gross as Hagrids were, leave them out for a few days. They'll be rock solid.

The Monster

'BeepBeepBeep!' Samuel looks down and sees the blinking red light that means he needs a gas refill. 'Lucky there's a gas station right here!' he thinks as he pulls into the parking lot, 'I hope they're still open! It's already 1:30 AM!'. He gets out of the truck and begins filling the gas tank. Once he's done, he heads towards the store to pay. A few minutes later he comes out and heads towards his truck, but stops short as he notices a huge black duffel bag in the trunk. "Huh, that wasn't there before," he says, opening his trunk to look at it. He attempts to pull it out and nearly drops it on his foot. "Ugh!" he grunts, dropping it on the ground, "Holy, that's heavy! What's in there?". He unzips it and is about to open it up when... "AHHHH!!!" Samuel yells, jumping back. A huge creature with bulging red eyes and long sharp teeth looms over him, making a horrible screeching noise. Samuel scrambles backward, his eyes wide, as the monster slowly prowls towards him. He falls over in his haste, but before he can get back up, the monster pounces, there's a blinding flash of light, a huge puff of smoke, and when it clears, all that's left is the black duffel bag, and a single, sharp tooth.
