Hello! I read this fic on AO3 but can't find it now despite using various tags. I can't remember if Draco was a potioneer or a herbologist but he and Neville either worked together or were just good friends. Harry fancied Draco and wanted to know how to approach him, so he asked Neville if Draco was a "traditional" Pureblood in terma of courting.
Neville said he didn't know but he tried to find out when he and Draco went out to the sea to collect potions ingredients or rare sea plants (cant remember which but they were plants that Draco had to collect by getting into the shallow water).
Neville stayed on the dinghy/small boat while Draco was knee-deep/shoulder-deep in the water and started asking Draco about his relationships, romantic interests, etc. Draco found it weird but didn't mind and just answered the questions.
Neville was fiddling with his phone while they talked and Draco assumed he was just texting somebody. He later learned that Neville actually took a video of him while he was collecting the plants and sent it to Harry. In the video, Draco was wearing jeans and no shirt and he was kind of frowning/had a rbf before smiling at Neville. Draco and Blaise watch the video and Blaise said that Draco looked hot like a model. Draco jokingly wondered if it was possible to be attracted to oneself because he thought he looked great in the video.
I can't remember the rest of the plot but these scenes stood out to me. Thank you very much in advance! Really grateful for what you do for Drarry fans.
