Terry pulled her textbook out of her bag and read the title carefully. "Potions Level Five the cover said. She wanted to make sure she was in the right class. If she didn't know better, she would swear she was in Muggle Studies instead of Potions. Still a bit confused, she takes out a roll of parchment and her quill and writes the recipe down. Since she only brought potions supplies with her, Terry must transfigure her cauldron into a mixing bowl, her mortar and pestal into a sieve, and her scales into a set of measuring cups and spoons. Now that she has the right equipment, she goes up to the front of the class to collect her ingredients. Smiling at Professor Melita she ask, "Professor, I've managed to improvise using transfiguration charms my potions equipment so they can be used to mix cookie dough, but I don't have anything to transform into a baking sheet. Do you have a couple of baking sheets I can borrow. I believe,judging from the amount of ingredients used, this recipe will make about two dozen cookies. I think I will need about two baking sheets to hold all the cookies." Terry couldn't believe they were going to bake cookies in potions class, but the professor was right. The principle behind baking and potion making were the same.
