He set the case he was carrying on the table, and removed a bowl, a large crystal, and a decorative silver knife. The goblin healer only grunted in response, but Harry was quickly learning not to take their gruff nature personally. “This is Gornuk, head Healer of the Goblin Nation.” This one was dressed differently, and Harry correctly assumed it was the healer. It glowed briefly, and almost as soon as the light faded the door opened and another goblin entered the room. In response, Ragnok pressed his finger to a jewel on the table. You should have had your first at five years of age, and your second this year.” Certain old families, yours included, routinely employ our healers for health checks, as goblin healers are more sensitive to the development of one’s magical core than wizard healers.
