A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

32| Ms. Donatelli

"Jasmine can you please watch your siblings for five minutes?" I asked the little girl who rolled her eyes.

"She is definitely you." Draco smiled noticing how similar the two of us acted when we were annoyed.

"I don't what to!" She complained.

"Look Jaz, you're eight years older than them. You are going to watch and protect them for the rest of your life. And one day, you'll be glad to be the oldest. Please watch the twins while we run down to the neighbors house."

"Fine." She slumped down in her seat.

She was the oldest of three kids so I understand why she would get tried of constantly having to watch her two year old brother and sister.

I had the twins two years ago and the first one was a girl, Jade, then a boy, Scorpius. Draco insisted we name him that and I think it's very fitting.

"Hey how about when we go shopping soon? Just you and me? We can buy all the Christmas presents then." I asked Jasmine.

"Yes please! I'll watch the twins any day! And when we go shopping can we look for things for my Hogwarts dorm? I'll be there next year!" Jasmine got excited.

"Of course. I love you. See you in a few minutes." I kissed her forehead and walked out with Draco.

"She's so excited Nat." He put his arm around me as we began a slow walk.

"I know but I'm scared. What if she finds trouble. I mean, Harry and I always did." I laughed slightly.

"Then you can go get her out of it. Your Natalie Malfoy which, by the way, is stronger than Natalie Potter. Don't tell your brother I said that."

"I won't." I smiled as we reached our neighbor's house.

He knocked and the sweet old lady answered the door.

"If it isn't my favorite blonde couple! How are Jasmine the twins?" Ms. Donatelli greeted me with a hug.

"They're doing great. We haven't seen you in a while but we had to come over to talk real fast." I reciprocated the hug.

"Of course come right on in." She let us walk inside and led us to the couch. "What's on your minds?"

"We were wondering if you would be willing to look after the kids for three days and two nights next week." I asked. Ms. Donatelli has babysat our kids for years and I trusted her completely with their lives.

"Of course! What's the occasion?" She immediately agreed.

"My work is having a party up in the mountains for Christmas and we wanted to go celebrate with them before coming back here." Draco explained.

"That sounds fun! I can totally stay with them until you're back." She chirped excitedly.

"We can prepare the guest room for you and buy some extra snacks to minimize how much you have to cook." Draco told her.

"Oh don't worry about it! You know I love cooking." She put a comforting hand on his knee smiling.

"Right well just in case I'll buy some more food. Is there anything special you need or want?" I asked ready to give it to her.

"You know me, all I need is a bit of sugar and a good spoon." She smiled quoting her favorite apron.

"Save some dessert for us." Draco smiled with her.

"Tell that to Jasmine." Mrs. Donatelli laughed.

"We will but speaking of Jasmine, we left the twins with her so we should probably get back now. Thank you so much and I will be sure to message you the details. You're a life saver!" I hugged the old woman once more and walked out with Draco.
