Katelyle, You Are Under Arrest

"Mr. Draco, please tell me, where did you go all afternoon?"

"And what happened to you?"

In Severus Snape's office, Professor McGonagall looked at Malfoy and spoke seriously.

Malfoy was a Slytherin student, and Severus Snape was the Head of House, so they had naturally come here.

Besides Severus Snape and Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore had just arrived as well.

Facing the three of them, Malfoy felt considerable pressure.

"I was with Professor Kate, and I asked him to teach me Lightning Magic, Professor McGonagall." Malfoy knew very well that he had to explain himself, or he would lose points.

Professor McGonagall and the other two were all somewhat surprised.

This actually had something to do with Professor Katelyle?

"Are you certain?" Severus Snape stared at Malfoy and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Professor!" Malfoy said after a slight hesitation.

Malfoy did not know what consequences naming Katelyle would bring, but he said it anyway.

"True Form Revealed!" Severus Snape suddenly waved his wand at Malfoy.

Yet, to Severus Snape's surprise, Malfoy did not change at all.

Malfoy was startled by Severus Snape's action. Fortunately, he knew what spell Severus Snape had cast; otherwise, he would have been finished.

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore pondered briefly, then both let out sighs of relief.

By granting Malfoy the Thunder Wand, they had shown their faith in his talent, and it also meant that his talent was worth nurturing with special attention.

Thus, they did not want anything to happen to Malfoy either.

His disheveled appearance before them had made them suspect that he might have been someone else in disguise.

Severus Snape showed neither shame nor surprise at his sudden move. He coldly withdrew his wand and said, "Draco, I hope you will answer my questions seriously rather than make me give you Veritaserum."

Malfoy's expression changed slightly. Then, under the gazes of Severus Snape and the other two, he stretched out his hand and swiftly condensed a Lightning Orb.

However, before even three seconds had passed, it turned into sparks of lightning and vanished.

Malfoy's face grew even paler, and weakness washed over him.

"What happened?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at Malfoy in confusion.

"I'm out of magic power," Malfoy said weakly.

Dumbledore glanced at Malfoy, then said, "Since nothing seems to be wrong, let us leave it at that."

"Severus, this is a student of your Slytherin House. I will leave him to you."

With that, Dumbledore left with Professor McGonagall.

After Dumbledore departed, Severus Snape looked at Malfoy and coldly asked, "What did Professor Kate teach you?"

Malfoy did not hide anything and recounted everything that had happened that afternoon.

After listening, Severus Snape waved his hand and said, "Leave. Do not mention this matter to anyone else."

Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to leave.

He was afraid Severus Snape would punish him.

Severus Snape stood before a row of potions. The eyes beneath his dark circles looked somewhat melancholy and weathered, yet they also carried another meaning—something sinister.

As agreed, Harry, Ron Weasley, Neville, and Hermione Granger came to Katelyle's little house again.

Hermione Granger had changed clothes and taken a bath before arriving.

Harry and the others were extremely busy now.

During the day, they had classes. At noon, they had to find time to study Potions, and at night, they still had to learn Elemental Magic. They barely had any time left for entertainment.

Harry in particular also had to make time for internal training with the Gryffindor Quidditch Team.

When he returned to the dormitory at night, Harry fell asleep immediately after washing up.

The next day.

Harry and Ron Weasley overslept, and Neville had not woken them.

So, they had no choice but to hurry off at a jog to Professor Flitwick's Charms class.

As they passed through a corridor, several figures on flying brooms flashed past them.

"The Ministry of Magic!" Ron Weasley recognized their attire and grabbed Harry.

At once, Harry thought of what had happened the night before.

"They must be here to cause trouble for Professor Kate." Harry's eyes flashed as he spoke in a low voice.

Ron Weasley nodded and asked, "Then what do we do?"

"Should we follow them and take a look?" Harry suggested.

"But if we skip class, we'll lose points," Ron Weasley said hesitantly.

"Then let them deduct points." Harry answered without a moment's thought.

With that, Harry broke into a run toward the Elemental Magic Academy.

That morning was Slytherin House's Elemental Magic class.

Since everyone was learning from the basics, the Elemental Magic Academy was spacious enough, and each House had relatively few students, nearly two hundred Slytherin House teachers and students had gathered there.

Katelyle was teaching the Slytherin students Elemental Magic. On the enormous practice field, they formed a vast semicircle and were divided according to their different attributes.

Yes, Katelyle displayed extraordinary talent, teaching several kinds of Elemental Magic by himself at once.

After Dumbledore arrived, he could not help but marvel at Katelyle's teaching.

In truth, learning Elemental Magic was not as difficult as people imagined.

As long as one could perceive Elemental Magic and complete its arrangement, the next time they cast the spell, they only needed to recite the incantation to release it.

Unlike traditional magic, casting Elemental Magic did not require special gestures, intonation, pronunciation, and the like while chanting.

Furthermore, once one became familiar with controlling Elemental Magic, one could cast silently, making the spell's release undoubtedly even faster.

One could even cast it without using a wand as a guide.

And that would give rise to another profession.

But presumably, no one could achieve that yet.

Still, there was no denying that such a profession was truly powerful.

"Katelyle, you are under arrest!"

"You have used Dark Magic without authorization, attacked others, and seized their property. The Ministry of Magic has formally issued an arrest warrant for you. You must now come with us to the Ministry of Magic for investigation!"

A booming voice rang out over the Elemental Magic Academy, followed by the appearance of six figures in the air above it.

Augustine stared at Katelyle, his eyes burning with dark fury. With a cold face, he looked down at Katelyle arrogantly and produced a sheet of parchment.

It listed the accusations against Katelyle, along with the arrest warrant.

Augustine's words threw the Slytherin students into an uproar, leaving them shocked and crying out in disbelief.

Draco Malfoy looked at Augustine and the others. After his initial shock, a smile appeared on his face.

After enduring Hell Training the previous afternoon, Malfoy had gained a deep understanding of Katelyle's strength.

Combined with the powerful display Katelyle had shown yesterday, Malfoy was certain that Augustine was about to suffer again.
