Howling into the night. The full moon. It had been calling to Nico for the past few nights, its draw making him antsy and restless. But finally it was here, and he could stretch his legs and breathe.
Though more than stretch to be honest. he stretched, and contorted, and twisted as the change took over, his joints popping and groaning, his muscles stretching and bending as his form turned from man to wolf.
Though many who were afflicted had little control, and often considered it a curse, Nicolae and his family, saw it as a gift. As something to be revered, and respected. And the moment one was old enough to turn, they began their training. Learning to keep control over their Were half, to keep from hurting people. Though Nico still had the occasional night of mystery, he was more than well in control of his were side. The only victims of his moonsickness being the occasional squirrel.
Hours passed and still he was running through endless span of Hangmans Forest, howling to the creatures in the night, and the wolves they lived there. And all was as per usual, that is, until an odd little light when shining in his face and a voice heard behind it.

Late night stroll. Switzerland was a wonderful place. At least, Misha thought so. It was all sorts of big and small in a way he couldn't quite describe to people without looking like he had grown two heads. Really, people already looked at him like that anyways so it was no different he supposed. Beauregard, in general, was a great place. He was very lucky to find a place like this where he could teach students about the creatures in this world and why they were to be protected, not hunted to near extinction.
The thought of all the species that were now gone caused a pain in the Professor's heart.
A soft sigh came from his mouth as he stood up and got dressed. During the summer break he had managed to find a few erumpents that he made a small area for on the other side of the grounds. Earlier in the day they had seemed rather restless and he wanted to check in on them before the day started.
He looked out the window.
Day had definitely not started yet.
With his wand in his pocket, he made his way across the grounds. The moon was past its zenith as he strolled, absolutely at ease even amongst the howling of the wolves. As he skirted around Hangman's Forest though, he noticed a flash of something. Curiosity immediately tickled he stopped and decided to follow it into the woods. It had moved past him too quick for him to figure out what sort of animal it was. A canine perhaps? But it might have been too large. Definitely not an acromantula though and most certainly none of his creatures.
He followed the creature through the woods, eventually pulling out his wand as he went in deeper and lighting the end of it. At some point he stopped, positive now that he had gotten turned around.
"Now...where did he go?" He always referred to animals by one sex or the other, hating very much the term 'it'. Calling a creature 'it' just irked him for some reason. Slowly, he turned with his wand out, still lit and-
"Aha!" To say he wasn't startled to all of a sudden be face-to-face with the creature was an understatement, but he quickly moved past that as he looked at the towering figure. "Well hello there! And what are...oh?! Definitely not an acromantula, that's for sure! A wolf....Not a wolf at all I see, but a werewolf! And look at how absolutely amazing of one you are! You seem to have quite a knack for control, I see. How absolutely incredible." His blue eyes had lit up as he lowered his wand so the werewolf didn't think he was trying to threaten him. As with any other creature, and some humans, his tone was incredibly kind and soft spoken as he didn't even think about his own well being. Many people were prejudiced against them still, but Misha held no such qualms. "You must be an adult then...I highly doubt a student would have this level of control. Maybe from the school? Now which professor could you be!?" He paused. "You weren't going to eat my erumpents were you? That would make me very unhappy."

Howling into the night. He watched as the mans train of thought jumped and skipped around, much like his own had a tendency to, and waited poiltely until he had finished to change back into his human form. With the moon already breaking way for the suns arrival, it was only a matter of time before he changed whether or not he wanted to, so he opted for now if only so he could speak to him.
As he stood upright, his features shifted, less and less wolflike until a man stood in stead of the wolf and he bowed graciously. "Professor Nicolae Pippindorio, Ancient Runes. And judging by your concern over the erumpments and your knowledge of myself, I would wager a guess you are our new Care of Magical Creatures professor. " he beamed, completely unawares that he was standing there stark naked in front of him as the weather was chilly, but nothing close to the chill his beloved Romania could hold.
"I was actually meaning to speak to you at some point! You have quite a few lovelies on the grounds and I was curious as to how you've gotten them to adapt to the climate change. Quite a few of them are much more warmer climate creatures. Though I suppose if you were so inclined you could fashion them sweaters. Or little hats. Mittens perhaps. Some would need to be fire proof of course, or shred proof depending on the creature, but I imagine once they got used to the idea of wearing such things, they'd be rather grateful for the extra warmth." he rambled spinning around as he waved his hands in thought before coming full circle and back to facing Misha before he realized he was just rambling away again. "In any case! It's lovely to meet you and I do appreciate you not being frightened or irrationally angry at my previous appearance. Many people still seem to find my kind unsettling."

Late night stroll.
He may have been staring, but was it really his fault? It wasn't every day one met a werewolf afterall, even with a life as diversified as Misha's had been. And the few times he had met one, the human did not have so much control as this person. As the wolf's body began to shift and change, he took a step back so he didn't intrude in any way in the transformation.
A grin lit his face as the other man introduced himself. "It is incredibly lovely to meet you then Professor Pippindorio! You're correct, I am the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Mikhail Sergeyivich Volkov.' He made a slight face. "It's a mouthful, and I lack the patience that normal Russian society demands, so please call me Misha."
He watched as the professor spoke, completely enthralled by the exuberance and train of thoughts he seemed to have, and didn't notice that he was still naked. Or well, he noticed but at the same time didn't. They were having a conversation after all and it would be incredibly rude to completely stare.
"Some of them do have little hats and coats actually.' He smiled brightly. 'My Niffler for example. Although you are right, it takes some time getting used to. And Nifya did not like that the coat covered over his pocket making it more difficult for him to steal shiny things. And mittens would make those grabby little hands have a more difficult time. I supposed I could attempt those things on the erumpents, but I'm afraid I don't have the yarn supply for them..." Misha tilted his head, thinking it over....and no. No, he most certainly did not have the yarn supply to make them anything. "At any rate I have an indoor menagerie of sorts. Although I rather hate to call it a 'menagerie' because none of them are captive and they all have plenty of space. Not all my creatures came with me, you see. Quite a few of them did not like the idea of the cold weather, so I took them back to their natural homes before coming here. I guess it is probably for the best, but really I do not think they know what they are missing out on. Most of them have probably never played in the snow, and that's a rather shame."
His smile though turned into a look of pure confusion. 'Frightened? Why would I be frightened? Or even angry. That seems rather ridiculous. The only people who are frightened and angry are people with very little understanding of the world around them. Why, I have found that humans really, are the most frightening of all the things I have ever encountered. I mean, unless you can show a hydra or some other large creature how to kill people for an insane reason such as blind, brainwashing loyalty. But no. No, I cannot say I find anything about you unsettling in the slightest."

Howling into the night. The mans air was simply delightful, so buoyant and cheerful! And his name, it almost battled his own in the war of syllables, which Nico found equally humorous. Misha had his full attention as he rambled, mostly because Nico had found it a rare person who could keep up and even mirror his own lengthy conversational skills that seemed to veer this way and that.
"It is a shame! Snow is such a wonderful little creation. Light and fluffy and cold. Like walking around in unflavored shaved ice. Though of course you could flavor it and have a literal snow cone, though I don't imagine many of the creatures would be interested in a blue raspberry snow cone. Or maybe they would. I'm sure its hardly healthy for them though. But you would know that more than I would of course, Care of Magical Creatures and all you ought to know such things! " he laughed.
Nico waved a hand and nodded. "There are still a surprising amount of people who find werewolves deeply frightening and assume we're dangerous. It's quite upsetting really, I'm no more dangerous than a Labrador, really. And I don't even chew up shoes or newspapers!" he smiled brightly at the fact that Misha found nothing unsettling about him and it just made him enjoy his unexpected company all the more, and he bowed once more with a flourish. "I thank you kindly for your tolerance and decency!"

Late night stroll.
”Snow really is delightful! I must admit, there are fewer pleasures than jumping into a bank of freshly fallen snow. Except maybe sky diving. Or playing with baby animals. But! Snow isn't always so light and fluffy! Oh, I remember one time as a child I chased a snow rabbit into a snow bank. To my eyes it appeared that the rabbit just poofed into it.” He made a motion with his hand, eyes bright before he started laughing softly at himself. ”I was determined to follow him and well...the rabbit had had a burrow through where I couldn't see. I ended up with a bloody nose instead.”
He grinned at the other man’s laugh. It was a rich noise, genuine in its emotion. ”All depends on the animal, my friend!”
Misha was absolutely taken with this fellow professor. His mannerisms and attitude seemed so like his own he was instantly drawn in. The man was obviously incredibly intelligent and a caring person and the Russian wizard was drawn into it.
“Well, you are certainly bigger than a Labrador, that's for sure! Maybe a great dane? You know though, i have always found that it's those little yappy dogs that are the worst. Biting and barking like they do. I'd be more frightened of one of them before a werewolf. And I'm sorry people still seem to believe that nonsense! Honestly, it's perplexing that kind of thought can still be found in this day and age!”
As Nico bowed and thanked him he couldn't help as the slightest of pink tinged his face. ”Oh! Please don't, there isn't a thing to thank me for! I mean, I could just as easily thank you for not walking off whilst i ramble away! “ He waved a hand before laughing. ”Although we probably shouldn't keep standing here or else dawn will come and we'll most certainly miss breakfast! Would you like to come see the erumpents with me? I had been on my way to make sure they managed through the night. Although now i think i know the reason for their apparent restlessness! “
