This story is for happymaomao , sorry for not answering you, I was just working on this story. Also sorry for taking so long lol.

After Hogwarts everyone went their own ways, Harry became an Auror (it only took a year for him to be appointed head Auror), Neville became a Teacher etc, But most importantly - well to this story anyway - Draco became a therapist/psychologist. He hopes to help people through what he was forced to go through alone. He hopes to help people face their fears.

His current patient was a witch called Kaya. She was terrified of snakes and over time it had turned into a phobia, you might know if it as Ophidiophobia or ophiophobia. Recently it had been getting worse, as her roommate -rather rudely - had bought a pet snake.

At first he showed her pictures of snakes, while having a fake (plastic) snake on the table. He promised that eventually he would bring out a real non venomous snake. Draco said that at first she wouldn't have to hold it, she would just need to be around it.

Sadly Draco didn't know anyone who had a snake, or anyone who is good with snakes and would be able to take it away if things got  out of hand.

One night, while he was lying in bed, he suddenly remembered something. Potter! That's it! Potter can talk to snakes! And he remembers overhearing a conversation he had with the Weasel, saying he had bought a snek.

Draco sighed before promising himself that he'll write to him in the morning. Soon he fell into a soundless and dreamless sleep.

The next afternoon he remembered about the letter. Draco sighed before starting to write. (Based of the picture at the top)

Dear Potter,
I'm afraid I require your help. As you may have heard my job is to help people face their fears/phobias. One of my clients have Ophidiophobia, the phobia of snakes, and as you are the only person I could think of who is not only a parsletounge but also has a pet snake, I was hoping you would be able to put our past behind us and help me well and Kaya.
Draco L Malfoy

He looked over it, happy with the results and sent it. Now all he had to do was wait for a reply. Which came the next day, much to Draco's surprise.

Draco
Id be happy to help, I get off work for the first week in April, would any of those days be work for you? And please, call me Harry, you said yourself you wanted to put out past behind us and that's a start. Right?
Harry J Potter

Draco read this over twice smiling to himself before sending Po - eh Harry all his scheduled appointments with Kaya. They both agreed to meet up on Tuesday (it's Monday) to discuss further plans. 

As Draco got ready the next morning, putting on his usual suit, which was a white dress shirt, dark green tie, nice trousers and black jacket. Once he put his hair in his usual style, slicked back, he walked to the cafe that he was meeting Harry.

He stepped in and started looking around for that absolute mess of a hair that belonged to Pot-Harry. After a few seconds of looking he found him. As he walked over, Harry turned around and waved. Draco gave a weak smile before taking in what he was wearing.

Harry had managed to slick his hair back - somehow - and was wearing a plain black dress shirt, leaving fe top button undone, with black jeans and converse.

Draco could feel the blush creeping up his face. Potter actually looked hot?!

"Draco! How are you?" Harry smiled, motioning for him to sit down.

"I'm fine. What about you?" Draco asked. "Still with the weaslette." He sneered.

Harry paused, "well no, I'm actually gay. Ginny was a bit mad when she found out. But turns out she was actually lesbian... her and  Luna are dating now"

Draco nodded. "I don't know if I should say sorry or tell you I'm also gay." He laughed. Harry laughed along, making Draco blush.

"You know, " Harry said leaning onto the table, "You have a cute laugh."

Draco blushed and looked down at his lap, "I uh t-thanks."

"Ooh~ did I make the Draco Malfoy laugh and stutter? All my dreams are coming true." Harry giggled.

Draco took this to his advantage, "and did I just make the Harry Potter giggle?"
