The Rise of the God-Emperor

CH 61: Testing the Amulets

The first rays of dawn were just breaking over the horizon as Harry stood at the edge of the Guildhall Library in London. The ancient building, usually bustling with life by midday, was eerily quiet in the early morning. Harry wore a plain, dark cloak, hood pulled low over his face to avoid being recognized. Today, he was here for a very specific reason—he was testing the second of the amulets he had perfected: the amulets that repeal muggles, a charm designed to drive Muggles away.

The small, black amulet hummed in his hand as he attached it discreetly to one of the outer walls of the library. He had chosen this location because it was always crowded with Muggles, from tourists to students. If the Faded worked here, it would work anywhere.

With a deep breath, Harry activated the amulet, feeling the faint pulse of magic spread outward like an invisible wave. It wouldn't harm anyone—it would simply make Muggles feel uncomfortable, uneasy, pushing them to leave the area without understanding why. It was a subtle but powerful tool, and one Harry knew could be crucial in protecting magical places.

Satisfied that the charm was in place, Harry left the area quickly, his heart beating with a mixture of anticipation and caution. He would return later to see the effects, but for now, the charm was set.

Returning to the Guildhall Library

Hours later, as the sun set and the streets of London filled with the evening crowds, Harry returned to the Guildhall Library. This time, he wore Muggle clothes—jeans, a dark jacket, and a cap to blend in. The library, which should have been packed at this time of day, was surprisingly empty. Not a single Muggle lingered near the entrance, and inside, the usually bustling reading rooms were silent.

Harry slipped inside, careful to stay unnoticed. He watched as a lone librarian, the only person present, wandered through the aisles. She seemed perplexed, almost uncomfortable, as if she couldn't understand why the library was so deserted.

Harry moved through the building quietly, feeling the success of the charm as a low hum in the air. There was no sign of any Muggle presence beyond the librarian, who soon left as well. The charm had worked perfectly.

Later that night, under the cover of darkness, Harry returned once more, this time in full incognito. He removed the amulets that repeal muggles amulet from the wall, wrapping it carefully in a cloth. The test was complete, and it had been successful. Muggles had been driven away without even realizing it, their discomfort subtle enough to make them leave without causing suspicion.

As Harry walked away from the library, he felt a quiet sense of victory. the amulets that repeal muggles amulets were ready for use, and now he could move on to the final stage of his plan.

Back at Hogwarts

By the time Harry returned to Hogwarts, the moon was high in the sky. The castle was quiet, but the hum of magic and protection still lingered in the air from the Perfect Barrier surrounding it. As he made his way back to the War Room, Harry's mind raced with thoughts of the next steps. The Muggle-control amulets—the Muggle-control amulets—had been tested successfully, and now the amulets that repeal muggles amulets had proven their worth as well.

But there was still one more piece to consider: Muggle allies to pass through the barriers—bracelets designed to protect the Muggles who were already allied with them. Many Muggleborns had parents or loved ones who needed to visit magical places, and without protection, the Faded amulets would repel them as well. These bracelets would allow the Muggles to walk freely near magical barriers and places, ensuring that they weren't driven away.

Harry sat at the large oak table, spreading out his sketches and notes. The Savors needed to be strong, yet simple. They would act as a key, a way for Muggle allies to bypass the Faded and move through protected areas without issue.

As he worked through the night, Luna entered quietly, her presence always calm and reassuring. She moved to his side, watching as he sketched the designs for the bracelets.

"You're making something new," Luna observed, her voice soft but curious.

Harry nodded, his quill still scratching over the parchment. "These are for the Muggles who are with us—the parents of Muggleborns, or anyone else who needs to get through the barriers. The amulets that repeal muggles amulets will repel them if we don't give them something to bypass it."

Luna tilted her head thoughtfully, her eyes tracing the designs. "You're thinking of everything, aren't you? It's what a king would do—protecting all his people, magical or not."

Harry looked up at her, smiling faintly. "It's not about being a king, Luna. It's about making sure no one gets left behind."

Luna's gaze softened, and she nodded. "You're right. But still, you're taking on so much. Are you sure you're ready for all of it?"

Harry paused, considering her words. He had been feeling the weight of his decisions more heavily lately—the responsibility of protecting not just Hogwarts, but magical creatures, wizards, and Muggles alike. And now, with the Ministry watching his every move, the stakes were even higher.

"I don't have a choice," Harry said quietly, his voice steady. "If I don't do this, if we're not ready, everything we've built could fall apart. I won't let that happen."

Naming the Amulets

As dawn began to break, Harry finished the final designs for the Savors. The bracelets were simple, with subtle charms woven into the metalwork that would activate in the presence of a Faded amulet, allowing Muggles to pass without issue. The first batch would be ready soon, and Harry felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that another step had been completed.

He sat back, looking at the amulets and bracelets that now lay before him. Three powerful tools, each designed to protect their world from the growing Muggle threat.

The Muggle-control amulets, which could bend the will of Muggle adults and force them to obey, would now be known as Markers—a sign of control and power.

The Faded amulets, which would drive Muggles away, protecting magical places from unwanted eyes, had already proven their worth.

And now, the Savors, the bracelets that would allow Muggle allies to pass through the barriers, would ensure that those closest to the magical world would remain safe.

Harry stood, stretching his tired limbs as he gazed at the table. He had named them all, and in doing so, he had given these tools a place in their strategy—each one a key to protecting what they had built.

As he looked out across the castle grounds, the faint shimmer of the Perfect Barrier glowing in the distance, Harry felt more resolute than ever. The fight was far from over, but they were ready for whatever came next.

And with that, Harry finally allowed himself to rest, knowing that when the time came, they would be prepared.
