Author's note: This is the first of hopefully a few plot bunnies up for adoption. The thing is I have ideas but execution is not exactly my forte so I can leave this ideas to more formidadle writers. Of course I do not own the Hobbit or any of the characters. Some have more details than others.

A brother and sister were raised by Bilbo after leaving their burning home. Their family is gone, murdered by a traitor to their family. The sister grows into a warrior still bent on revenge, the brother became a healer who just wants to protect their new home. Then Gandalf shows up offering an adventure towing thirteen dwarves.

* The siblings could run into the traitor again and not be recognized until later. Thus said traitor would plan to finish the job, either during the quest or around the battle.

* They would join the quest because they care about Bilbo like an older brother. So they decide to watch his back because the sister is convinced that the dwarves would not. They even offer to just have Bilbo share split between them, like three burglars for the price of one.

* During the quest the healer would be tending wounds and making small talk with members of the company; learning about their lives and their hopes. Maybe even reveal some things about himself and his family.

* In the Battle of Five Armies one or both of the siblings could be severly injured one or both of them could die.

* The siblings would find the ring and ask Bilbo about it. When they get the information it is agreed to try and learn more about the ring after the quest.
