Looking around Hadrian was amazed by how green and peaceful the shire was the small hobbit's glancing in surprise at the five elves standing in the path. Taking a deep breath Hadrian tried to appear as non-threatening as possible as he approached one of the small people.
Smiling down at the farmer Hadrian asked, "could you tell me how your leader is." The farmer craining his neck to see Hadrian raised an eyebrow and said, "if you want to see the Thrain you need to head to Tuckborough." The famer gestured in a vaguely east direction then proceeded to leave the elves standing in the middle of the road.
Shrugging internally Hadrian began walking down one of the winding path's looking at all the small round doors and windows in the sides of the hill's and the masses of children running around laughing and playing.
An hour later and Hadrian and the other's were walking back down a path after finding a dead end when a plump Hobbit in a purple velvet waist coat asked, "Mr Elf are you lost?" jerking in surprise Hadrian turned to the hobbit and asked, "Do you know where we can find your leader?"
Sighing the hobbit looked of into the distance and said, "yes follow me." Quickly they followed behind the hobbit into an area a sign called Tuck Bourgh. In the centre of tuck Bourgh was an extremely large hill with one door and multiple circular window's painted in a vibrant red.
Smiling up at the elves the Hobbit pointed to the hill and said, "You will find Gerontius in the Great Took Smial." Walking up to the door Hadrian glanced quickly at Sirius, Severus, Elladan and Elohir before knocking on the bright red door.
For a couple moment's nothing happened the door burst open revealing a short stout hobbit lady with streaks of flour in her hair and a couple of children peering around her skirt's. Looking up at the Elves in surprise she gasped, "oh good gracious elves at my door."
Before Hadrian could utter a word the Hobbit lady gathered herself up and said, "Hello I am Adamanta Took nee Chubb, now come in come in and I will get you some tea the we shall see what can I do for you elves." Ducking down Hadrian found himself bent over double in beautiful round corridor following the surprisingly fast hobbit.
Once Adamanta had lead the elves into a large front room and sat the down on hobbit sized chair's she asked, "Now what brings elves to the shire." Clearing his throat Hadrian replied, "We had heard of Hobbit's skill's with plant's and love of mushroom's and have come here to speak to your leader in the hope that you could identify a toxic mushroom that has been giving some allies of ours some grief."
Nodding slowly Adamanta said, "I'll just get my husband and we will see what we can do." Quickly bussiling out of the room Adamanta left the elves perched awkwardly in the front room. A few moment's later Adamanta returned with her husband a slightly chubby bit not rotund Hobbit with salt and pepper hair.
Seeing the elves perched on the furniture the Hobbit smiled kindly and said, "I am Gerontius Took Thrain of the Shire, do you have a drawing of these mushroom's." nodding quickly Sirius handed Hadrian some parchment to pass to Gerontius.
After looking at the sketch for a few moment's Geritonius shook his head and said, "these appear to be death cap's but on an extraordinary size if the scale is right." Quickly walking over to the bookcase nested next to the door Geritonius pulled out a small blue book.
After a few minutes of flicking and humming Geretonius looked up and said, "The death cap's get to the size they are due to poisonous gasses. The mushrooms can be killed with a viniger and alcohol treatment, but the poisonous gasses digested by the mushroom's would increase making the area unliveable unless the gas is neutralised or removed."
Shaking his head Geretonius said, "I assume that your allies are dwarf's as the only reference to death caps this size are made in connection with an old dwarven fortress." Inclining his head in conformation Hadrian watched as the hobbit quickly moved over to a table and began writing as he said, "could you deliver this letter to the dwarf's as I have a proposal for them that could benefit both our people."
After accepting the letter Hadrian sent the twins of to deliver it while Sirius, Severus and himself made their way back to Imladris. Much to middle earth's amazement within two months of the Ereborian dwarf's and the Hobbit's meeting they had calmly come to the agreement that the dwarf's would create a new settlement in Erid Luin a group of mountains that stretched around the back of the shire.
Decades past in a blissful state of peace and prosperity the hobbit's and dwarf's forging a strong relationship with the Hobbit's by defending the shire and supplying the hobbit's with their craft's in exchange for food and cotton.
The good relationship was completely cemented between Hobbit's and Dwarf's when Thorin, Fili and Killi had come down from the mountain's during the fell winter to check that the hobbit's were okay and saved Geretonius Took's youngest daughter, her husband and their child Bilbo Baggin's
