As a senior advisor to Minister Fudge, Count Lee was a prominent figure in the Ministry of Magic during this time. Many wizarding families had never heard of the Lee family before. The Lee family is not a traditional wizarding family. Not as good as the Blacks, Malfoys, Gaunts, Longbottomons, or Lestrange families, to name a few.

But with the wealth accumulated in the Muggle world and the efforts of these generations of family members, the Li family has gradually gained a firm foothold in the wizarding world. It wasn't until Shea'an's generation that the first Hogwarts student appeared. The previous members of the Li family, although they also had magical powers, most of them studied in other magic schools.

In today's wizarding world, in addition to the strength of the wizard itself, the inheritance of the family is the most important source of the strength of the wizard. The so-called pure-blood family actually pays attention to blood inheritance and wealth inheritance. "Black wizards give birth to black wizards, white wizards give birth to white wizards, and princes and generals are all genetic. "That's the kind of heir story that's being said.

This extremely hierarchical social structure has been solidified and solidified for a long time. Wizards in the lower ranks rarely re-emerge as top-level wizards. Take a look at the births of our four "Marauders": the Potters and the Black family are both the top families in the wizarding world, and Lupin, although not born into a large family, is protected by Albus Dumbledore, and may become Albus's heir in the future. Only poor Wormtail, an ordinary wizard with an unknown name.

The wizarding world is very fluid, and there seems to be no good way to increase the gold of Gringotts other than to increase it from generation to generation through the family inheritance. This is even more serious than in the Muggle world.

If a wizard really wants to be a birth-breaker, a class-breaking fate changer, the best way to do that is, of course, to become a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor McGonagall is a half-blood wizard, and she is not of a prominent birth. Severus Snape was even more of this representation, and without the help of Hogwarts, he would not have been known as the Potions Master today.

There are too many such wizards, and Professor Lockhard, whom we have always laughed at, is also from a bad family.

Wizards at the bottom have no choice but to try their luck in Tumbledown Alley or become a powerful dark wizard. This is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline in the number of wizards in the wizarding world: there is no way to rise, and the upper family wizards are generally born very rarely, and the lower wizards rarely maintain pure blood, and many wizards slowly become ordinary Muggles after several generations.

Wizarding England is a country that values the so-called "aristocratic" tradition, which is relatively rare in other countries. Even a genius wizard like Voldemort can't help but hope to find himself a prominent birth.

Now that the Li family has risen strongly, for many old families, it has become a new contender for interests. Of course, the old families are not willing to let the Li family rise like this, and they will use various methods to prevent new sharers from joining.

As a Chinese Miao descent, Count Li is very handy in this kind of family struggle, and his skills and abilities are incomparable to these wizarding families. During this time, with the secret alliance of Count Lee, he has been united with several old wizarding families such as the Crouch family and the Longbottom family.

"Arthur, do you have time today? If you have time, I'd like to ask you for a drink after work?" Count Lee stepped out of the elevator of the Ministry of Magic and met Arthur Weasley from the Office of Misuse of Magic.

The Weasleys have a distinctive red hair, which is said to be a sign of the last magical dynasty, the Atlantean dynasty. Unfortunately, like many old magical families, the Weasleys are now in decline.

Arthur Weasley's red hair is thinning out and there is a bald patch on it. He was tall and thin, wore glasses, and today wore a somewhat whitish linen robe, which was a little open, but very clean.

Before Arthur Weasley wrote the Muggle Protection Act, the wizarding world had taken a dismissive attitude towards the Muggle world for hundreds of years. In the aftermath of the terrible infighting between Queen Anne and the Soul Cult, wizards took strict secrecy to ensure that the wizarding world was not known to Muggles. At the same time, although wizards and Muggles live in the same world, wizards treat Muggles like animals, treating them as if they didn't exist.

Until Arthur Weasley wrote the formal law, the Ministry of Magic didn't even think it was necessary to devote much effort to it. As Muggle technology continued to evolve, this law became an important statute in the Ministry of Magic. This decree is an interesting contrast to the anti-Muggle attitude of some pure-blood families.

Minister Cornelius Fudge was friendly to Arthur Weasley, partly because the Weasleys had deep roots in magical England and were rumored to have some wonderful connections to Merlin, and partly because Arthur himself was also very good, he had studied at Gryffindor at Hogwarts and was a prefect for a while.

Most of the Ministry of Magic had a lot of respect for Arthur, including the heads of the departments such as Ludo Bagman, Barty Crouch, and Amelia Bones. Many wizards in the Ministry of Magic knew him, and it was natural to chat with him, and he was welcome in the Ministry.

During the First Death Eater War, Arthur was a good friend of Albus Dumbledore and a loyal supporter. He is also friends with Moody, the Auror's Mad Eye, and is also friendly with Amos Diggory, the patriarch of the Diggory family and Cedric Diggory's father.

Arthur Weasley had no crush on Lucius Malfoy, mainly because during the First Death Eater War, Arthur could be sure that Malfoy was a Death Eater. During the trial, Lucius escaped with the help of sophistry and the power of his family. Arthur testified in court in an attempt to send Lucius to Azkaban, but the Wizengamot Wizards eventually issued a not guilty verdict. This made Arthur very unhappy.

Overall, Arthur Weasley was a friend worth courting. Count Lee gradually gained a foothold in the Ministry of Magic, and at this time he was interested in establishing a relationship with Weasley.

Arthur looked at the small Earl Lee with some surprise. Of course he knew Lee, and when it came to him, Lee was very similar to himself, and he could talk to most of the wizards in the ministry.

"I'm afraid not, I have to go home early after work today, Molly said that there is always movement in the attic, I have to go and check to see if there are weasels. Arthur said regretfully.

"Well, do I have the privilege of being a guest at your house?" In Wizarding England, wizards have a clear distinction between personal and professional relationships. Even if two wizards meet every day in the same department of the Ministry of Magic, if they don't communicate privately, they can only be regarded as colleagues;

The relationship between Earl Lee and Arthur is not bad, after all, both are Albus Duncando supporters. It's just that Lee never visited Arthur's house.

Arthur was a little surprised, and hesitated slightly, "Of course you can, but my home is a bit far away, in the Burrow." ”

Count Li smiled indifferently, "Arthur, we've known each other for a long time, and I've never been to your house." The name Burrow sounds interesting, so wait for me after work. ”

After work, Arthur was already waiting in the apparition zone. The Ministry of Magic also has a powerful magical enchantment, and wizards can't apparition here at will.

It's like liquefiing the body, passing through a strange pipe, and after the phantom shifts, the two of them arrived at the suburbs. Wizards generally live in remote areas in order to abide by the principle of secrecy. Some wizards like to live in the forest, and most of the legends about the witches in the forest are true.

Situated just outside the village of Ottri St. Cachpole on the banks of the River Ott, the Burrow is a four-storey building built crookedly and built by magic. The Burrow was surrounded by wilderness, and was well hidden thanks to Muggle banishment spells and other protective spells. This may have something to do with Arthur's responsibility for the misuse of magic.

Earl Lee and Arthur talked as they walked towards the Burrow. It is very rude to directly apparilate to someone else's home, so the location chosen by the two is still a few hundred meters away from the Burrow.

From afar, I could see the light shining through the windows of the Burrow. At this time, the Weasley children worked and went to school, and Molly Weasley was the only one in the family. After hearing the voice of the apparition, Molly emerged from the Burrow and saw the two of them coming together.

"Oh, Molly, long time no see, you've become prettier. Molly was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and worked for a short time in the Ministry of Magic, only to stay at home and take care of the baby as Weasley continued to be born.

"Li?!It's been a long time, why did you come to my house. The two politely hugged each other, and Arthur smiled as he spoke.

"Nothing important, I wanted to have a drink with Arthur, and he was bent on coming home and meeting you. I'm going to be an uninvited guest and disturb your two worlds. Li said with a smile.

"Oh, what a two-person world," Molly glanced at Arthur, who smiled softly back, "they're all old, how can they be as romantic as you say." ”

"Haha, I don't believe it. Earl Li smiled, "Why, don't you invite me in to visit?"

"Of course, please come in. Molly smiled and invited Count Lee into the house.

The Burrow also has a strange origin, it was completely built by Molly and Arthur themselves with magic. As mentioned earlier, the wizarding world has a special construction wizard who can perfectly use magic to build castles or apartments. Arthur and Molly began dating at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and after graduating, both became members of the Ministry. Later, when Molly became pregnant with her first child and realized that she should forge her own love nest, the two recalled some childhood experiences and finally decided to build a love nest for them next to this small village in Devon.

Relying on the power of magic and the sweet mood, the two quickly built a small two-story building. The house looks crooked at every turn, but by magic, it is sturdy.

Later, with the increase in the number of members of the Weasley family, the two-story building seemed a little smaller, so the Weasleys directly added another layer on the original basis with magic.

In this way, it was added and changed at the same time, and finally it became what the Burrow is now. The Burrow looks uncoordinated, slightly larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. into an inverted irregular cylinder.

The ground floor serves as a dining room and living room, and the children's bedrooms are located above. Not far from the house was a shed containing Muggle supplies collected by Arthur Weasley.

"Molly, is there any noise in the attic today?" asked Arthur after entering the house.

"Again, I don't see it as a small thing, at least not a mouse. Listening to the movement, that thing is quite heavy. Molly replied.

"I'll go see now, there's nothing in the attic. Do you want to come along?" Arthur said to Lee as he went upstairs.

"Okay. "There's not a lot of space in the Burrow. Unlike some wizards who use spatial enrichment spells to enlarge the space in the house, Arthur did not add any spatial magic to his Burrow.

Up the low wooden staircase, the second floor was the Weasleys' bedroom, with some miscellaneous items next to it, followed by a slightly smaller room with some old newspapers piled up in the doorway.

The third floor is smaller than the second floor, facing the staircase is a relatively large room, there is a poster of the witch band on the door, the band members see someone coming, dance wildly, there is a sign hanging on the doorknob, the font on it is constantly changing: Do not enter!

There was a large room inside, the door was locked, the corridor was full of all sorts of strange things, and Count Lee saw some broken magic props in several cardboard boxes.

The stairs were narrower further up, and Arthur had to turn slightly to avoid a window on the stairs, and looking out of the window, the lights of the village in the distance and the stars that had just appeared at night were swaying silently in the distance.

There was only one room on the fourth floor, and there was a sign on the door that read "Ron's Room". There are posters of some Quidditch teams in the hallway.

After the fourth floor, you will find the attic. Arthur took out his wand. "I don't know what it is. The two of them walked up to the attic platform with slight vigilance. The windows were closed, and the cool night breeze whined.

"Bang!" something was thrown out of the darkness, and Arthur's wand immediately emitted a white light, levitating the thing accurately.

"Fluorescent flickering. "Count Lee's wand emitted a white light, and the attic was as bright as day. It's all a lot of clutter. Some of the children's cradles, cribs, broken toys, old crucibles, broken sofas, etc...

A strange moan came from around the corner. Arthur was stunned. "It's a familiar call. Arthur said. Count Li was at a loss.
