Forced by war to abandon his ambitions of becoming a priest, Detlef's search for other ways to serve his god lead him to a hobbit who has been living in a cave listening to voices which tell her to seek out something called 'The Silken Key'.
Joined by an alchemist with an embarrassing chemistry problem, a singing gnomish sailor and soldier of fortune from the east, Detlef quickly learns that they are not the only ones looking for this artifact. Every clue solved and every battle won leaves them with more questions about what the Key is and what it does. In the end, will all their efforts play straight into the hands of their enemy?
Excitement, mystery and comedy are more tightly packed into this story than a handful of pretty pebbles in a curious goblin's mouth.

Will his Eastern approach to magic education clash with traditional wizarding ways? Can he survive Snape's disapproval and Dumbledore's curious glances? And most importantly, can he actually help his students achieve those perfect O.W.L. scores? A hilarious and heartwarming tale of cultural fusion, unconventional teaching, and the magic that happens when East meets West at the world's most famous school of witchcraft and wizardry.

A Ruby's Shine (Thorin Oakenshield X OC)
I do not own The Hobbit or LOTR. The Hobbit is what I based this story off of. A Thorin Oakenshield x OC you might really enjoy like I do, and I wrote the story! I decided this description needed a rewrite: Fiery, stubborn, prideful, daring. I am all of those names, always have been. I never back down from a challenge, never turn away from my choice. I am determined to find my home. And, one day, I know I will. I just never thought a handsome, stubborn, irritating, stoic, and annoying dwarf king would step in my way and tip me off that path I was determined to stay on. I never thought he would take my hand, and guide me down a much better path than I ever imagined.
