It took a while, but he cleaned the whole floor, even getting under the icebox and stove. It looked brand new. Draco smiled and put the supplies away. He was glad that he could do something for Harry, after everything he had done for him. He remembered that Harry had been trying to bring the house up to standard, but it was an ongoing process, and Harry worked long hours, six days a week.
                              
He stood in the doorway. The krups were beneath him and wagging their tails. "Looks better, doesn't it?" They yipped in affirmation, then started running back and forth to the patio door in the den. They looked back at him encouragingly. "You want me to go outside?" They barked happily again and turned into a circle, excitedly. "Sure, let's see Potter's garden."
                              
He walked outside and knew immediately that Harry had quite a few charms on the yard to expand it. Impressive, but it was much larger than it should be. Flowers lined the area directly outside the door and other annuals. There were a few plants that he recognized as magical, but they weren't invasive or dangerous. He smiled at the large garden that even had a vegetable and berry section, too.
                              
Potter was getting a little behind on upkeep. Draco spotted a few weeds and old leaves in the garden beds. He cleared them out and trimmed a few plants as the krups played in the yard with each other and explored. They even pulled sticks out for him and took them to the rubbish pile that was building. Draco thanked them as he manicured each plant. Seven years of Herbology has taught him enough skills to prune correctly. He located a watering can with a Refill Charm on it and watered the beds.
                              
It was a definite improvement. He didn't make too many changes. Potter seemed to enjoy gardening, but again, he worked and had been helping him, instead of taking care of his hobbies. Draco was considering locating a bin, when he heard an unnatural squeak. He turned and both krups were sitting and staring at him expectantly. They both had squeaker toys in their mouths, which they squeaked, again.
                              
"You want to play?" he asked, and they jumped up and moved closer, squeaking.
                              
He bent down and tugged the toys out, and they started jumping up and down, watching the toys excitedly. Gus was even whining for it, like they had been waiting to play all day. Potter must do this normally, but Draco wound back and threw the toys as far as he could. They tore off through the grass, found them and brought them back. They looked so happy that he was playing with them that Draco knew he wasn't stopping anytime soon.
                              
He threw the toys for them to fetch and then started fake throwing them to trick them, but the krups didn't miss a thing. He practiced throwing to them, and they never let it drop. He felt so elated, because he could feel how happy Gus was. He petted them and played tug-o-war and even picked them up a few times for licks and kisses. He never wanted to leave. It felt like... home.

Harry flooed into the den and could sense that there was something different. It smelled different. He was trying to identify the smell, when Hermione came out of the floo right behind him.
                              
"Is that lemon cleaner?" Hermione asked, quicker than him.
                              
"Maybe?" Harry said and walked over to the kitchen. His mouth dropped. "What the hell?"
                              
Hermione came over and gasped, "Wow. It looks amazing! Malfoy did this? I thought you said that he didn't have a wand."
                              
"He doesn't." Harry gingerly stepped on the floor and opened the doors to the now organized cleaning cupboard. "He used the stuff Molly had got for us all those years ago."
                              
"Right, when we couldn't use magic. Wow... he scrubbed... everything," she said, mystified. "Did he do this... today?"
                              
"Yeah. It's amazing, but it was dirty when I left," Harry gasped, opening the cleaned and sorted cupboards.
