I don't own Harry Potter or Powerpuff Girls Z.

For those who have been reading this story, I'd like to inform you that I have rewritten some things in the early chapters.

Slugs and Detentions

The next few days were ordinary for the companions. With the only exceptions being Professor Lockhart trying to get Harry alone to give him some guidance and Ron's wand continuing to malfunction.

When they awoke that Saturday morning the girls went down to breakfast where they meet up with Takaaki, Ron, and Neville.

"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked while putting some eggs on her plate.

"He apparently went to Qudditch practice before we got up" replied Takaaki with a slight yawn.

They all quickly ate their breakfast and then went outside to watch Harry and the rest of the Gryffindor team practice. When they got to the stands they found Collin Creevey sitting there with his camera waiting for the team to come out.

As they were starting to head up into the stands the team came out of the changing room Harry looked at them.

"Please tell me that you've actually started your field practice" Kaoru asked him with an annoyed look on her face.

"Sorry, but we've been told our new tactics since sun up" he replied with a sigh.

The others just sighed before they went into the stands to watch the practice.

As the Gryffindor team started to fly through the air getting warmed up the group watched as Colin started to take some pictures.

They watched as Harry, the twins, and the team captain hover near each other as they saw the Slytherin team came onto the field. The group quickly ran onto the field to see what why the Slytherins were there.

When they got there they heard the Gryffindor team arguing with the Slytherin team about who was allowed to use the pitch.

Kaoru looked at the Slytherin team and saw that Malfoy was with them. "What's he doing here?" she said as she pointed at him.

Malfoy smirked "I'm the Slytherin's new Seeker and we're here to get some training in on our new Nimbus Two Thousand and Ones, that my father bought for us. It's not like any other team will be able to beat us this year for the Quidditch House Cup with these."

At this comment the entire Slytherin team burst out laughing.

Just then Hermione spoke up sharply "At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent."

Malfoy's laughing stopped as he turned to her angrily "No one asked your opinion, you filthy little mudblood!"

When Malfoy said this all of those who grew up in the wizarding world were taken aback by the insult. Fred and George tried to hit Malfoy while Alicia Spinnet, one of the Gryffindor Chasers, shrieked, "How dare you!"

Ron grabbed his wand out of his pocket and pointed it at Malfoy "You'll pay for that one!"

When Ron tried to cast the spell there was a loud bang as a jet of green light shot out the back of his wand and hit him in the stomach, knocking him off his feet.

Both Miyako and Takaaki rushed to his side and started to help him up. After they got him standing Miyako looked at him concerned "Are you all right Ron?"

As Ron opened his mouth to answer he belched and a few slugs came out of his mouth.

The Slytherin team started to laugh even harder than before as they watched Ron continue to belch up slugs.

"How do we help him?" Hermione asked with a lot of worry in her voice.

"How about we take him to Hagrid's. It's closer than the castle and he might know how to help him" Takaaki replied.

The others agreed that it was probably the best thing to do and left the stadium heading for Hagrid's hut.

As they got with in twenty feet of Hagrid's hut the door opened revealing Professor Lockhart.

When they saw him come out they decided to hide behind a bush and wait until he left.

While they waited they heard the Professor say loudly "It's just a simple matter of knowing what you're doing! If you need any help just let me know. I'll also send over a signed copy of my book since you don't have one." When he finished he walked up towards the castle.

After Professor Lockhart was out of sight they headed up to Hagrid's front door and knocked.

Hagrid opened the door with a very annoyed face, but it brightened up when he saw them standing there. "Been wondering when you'd come to see me. Though I'm glad you're not Professor Lockhart back to talk about how to do my job. What's wrong with Ron?"

Miyako and Takaaki helped Ron into the hut as the others came in.

"Better out than in I always say" Hagrid chuckled as he put a large copper basin in front of Ron.

Momoko shook her head as she watched Ron's predicament. "Is there anything we can do for him?" she asked Hagrid.

"No. He's just going to have to wait for it to stop" he replied as he put the teakettle on the fire.

Takaaki looked at him "What did Professor Lockhart want with you, Hagrid?"

"He was trying to tell me how to get kelpies out of a well. Besides telling me about some banshee he banished. If any of that story was true I'll eat my kettle," he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I think you're being unfair. Professor Dumbledore obviously thought he the best man for the job," Hermione said a little dreamily with Momoko agreeing with her.

"He was the only man for the job. No one else wanted to take it because they think it's cursed. No one who's taken it has lasted for more than a year," he told them a before he pointed at Ron "So, who was he trying to curse?"

"It was Malfoy. He called Hermione a mudblood. Though we don't know what it means," Miyako told him.

When he heard what Hermione had been called he was outraged. "It means dirty or filthy blood. It's used to insult those who are Muggle-born. There's some wizarding families that think their better than everyone one else because they so-called pure-bloods, like the Malfoy family. Though most magical folk know that it doesn't matter whether your pure-blood, half-blood, or muggle-born because it's the individual that matters not their parentage. Besides most wizards these days are half-blood anyway, plus Hermione is one of the smartest witches of her age" he finished getting her to blush.

After that Hagrid got up "Well now that that's settled. How about coming to see what I've been growing."

He then left his hut with the others following right behind him. He led them to a vegetable patch in back of his hut where they saw about a dozen pumpkins the size of small boulders.

Hagrid stood there smiling "Getting on well, aren't they? They're for the Halloween feast …should be big enough by then."

"What have you been feeding them?" Neville asked in awe.

Hagrid looked all about before he answered, "Well, I've been giving them – you know – a bit of help –"

Miyako looked at him confused "What do you mean?"

"An Engorgement Charm, I suppose?" Hermione said also slightly confused.

"Yeah, Ron's little sister told me about them. Meet her just yesterday as she was wondering the grounds. Said she was hoping to find her favorite cousin" Hagrid told them while still smiling.

Just then Momoko's stomach let out a loud growl. "I guess it's time for lunch" she said with a slight chuckle.

The others laughed at this before they all said good-bye to Hagrid and left to head back into the castle for lunch.

When they got into the entrance hall they heard a voice ring out "Potter, Weasley, and Akatsutsumi. I've been looking everywhere for you."

When they turned to the voice they saw Professor McGonagall walking towards them.

"You three will be doing your detentions this evening" she told them with a stern look.

"What are we going to be doing, Professor?" Momoko asked nervously.

"Weasley will be polishing all of the silver in the trophy room with Mr. Filch. Potter will be helping Professor Lockhart answer his fan mail. And you will be helping Madam Pince dust the library. There will also be no use of magic for any of your detentions," she told them with a glare.

"Umm …Professor can I do my detention with Ron or Momoko instead" Harry pleaded with her.

"I'm afraid not Potter. Professor Lockhart requested you personally. You all have to report to your detentions at eight o'clock sharp. So don't forget!" Professor McGonagall said with finality before she left.

After that the whole group went into the great hall to get some lunch. While they were there discussed the detentions that Harry, Ron, and Momoko were going to serve that night. When they were done they went back to their common room to get some of their homework done.

Just before eight o'clock Harry, Ron, and Momoko left to go to their detentions.

In the library Madam Pince had Momoko take all of the books down from one shelf, dust the shelf, and then dust the books before putting them back on it.

Madam Pince had her do this for nearly three hours before she let her go. She gave her a hall pass before she left so she wouldn't get in trouble on her way back to her common room.

On they way back she passed by one of the unused classrooms and heard some quite sniffling.

She walked to the door of the classroom and opened it enough so she could peer inside. As she peeked around the room she saw what looked like a first year girl crouched near the teachers desk crying. The girl had dirty blonde hair and pale skin.

Momoko immediately opened the door the rest of the way and rushed across the room to comfort the girl.

When she wrapped her arms around the girl she gasped in shock.

"It's all right. I won't hurt you" Momoko told her as soothingly as she could.

After about ten minutes the girl calmed down.

Momoko then helped her to her feet and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. "Are you feeling better now?" she asked her as she noticed that the girl had a look of surprise on her face.

"Y-Yes and thank you. Though can I ask who you are and why you helped me?" the girl asked her with confusion in her voice.

"My name's Momoko Akatsutsumi. The reason I helped you was because it looked like you needed someone to comfort you," she told her with a gentle smile. "May I ask your name and why you where in here crying by yourself?"

"I'm Luna Lovegood. I was crying because my dorm mates locked me out again. I don't know why they keep doing it?" Luna told her, as she was about to start crying again.

"Shh…it's all right. If you want you can stay in my dorm tonight. I doubt my roommates will mind. Then we can tell a Professor tomorrow about what's been happening to you" Momoko said as she started to comfort her again while leading her out of the classroom.

Luna nodded as they walked the rest of the way back to the Gryffindor common room.

When they got there Momoko led her strait up to her dorm. As they walked in they saw Miyako, Kaoru, and Hermione still up.

Miyako was about to say something but Momoko held up her hand "I'll tell you in the morning. Right now how about we get some sleep."

The others nodded before they all lay down and went to sleep, with Luna sleeping in Momoko's bed that night.

A/N: Well this is my first new chapter in a while. I hope everyone enjoys it. I'm going to try and update most of my other stories by the end of the year.
