But Dwarves make better blades than goblin steel. *Grins a little after a moment* Though... I have a feeling you may be right about getting it from the Goblins. Should work perfectly for what you need it for.

I disagree. The Goblins are amazing metalsmiths and I could think of no one better to entrust this commission to. I am confident I will receive a quality product.

I'm used to going to the dwarves for metal works. But, I'm sure you are quite right about the quality of your sword. It may even be a match to the blades my father carries.

What does your father carry?

Dwarven made sword, as well as a warhammer. He made sure all of us learned how to fight with both blade and magic.

*Smiles at the man.* I'm Skuld. And you I see in your life strings, you will do something that will change the world. As well as put things in motion...

I am Godric. It is a pleasure, Skuld.

Sounds expensive.

Rather so, but well worth it. I've heard Goblin-worked metal is nigh indestructible.

What are you planning on doing with it? Trimming the Whomping Willow?

...The what?

My time outside of my school is demanding. There are battles to be fought and I have been, on occasion, asked to rid a village or town of a dragon. I need a sturdy weapon suitable for a wizard but inconspicuous to a Muggle.

...the large, slightly vicious and definitely dangerous tree on the grounds of my school.

But hey, good luck with those dragons!

I prefer it when the dragons leave, willingly. They're such beautiful creatures. I hate to harm them.

You could capture them without killing them, couldn't you? I thought people did that.

It would take a company of about twenty - no less than ten, certainly, to capture a dragon and remove it. I'm afraid that, unless it's a wizarding village, there are just not enough capable hands.

I aim, generally, to startle them away.

I know one who would laugh his ass off, because he'd make one with a hidden mechanism that will either benefit, or cause misery to the owner. Mostly due to them being unaware of the extra 'help' to begin with.

...What?

Never mind, it's not important.
Why are you having them make one for you?
