Castin' My Spell On You (Bucky x Reader)

You've been in love with Bucky for months and Wanda uses a little 'magic' to help things along.  

I took a black cat, a cave bat
And threw them in a pot-pot (pot-pot, pot-pot-pot)
I took a blue snake, a green snake
And tied them in a knot-knot (knot-knot, knot-knot-knot)  

The cauldron sways slightly on its metal chain, the thick crimson liquid inside bubbling and spitting. It casts an eerie glow over the darkened room and you watch in awe as Wanda looms over it, her hair blowing around her face and her eyes closed as she stirs the mixture.  

"Is that really what's in there?" You ask, peering into the bubbling cauldron, not convinced this plan of Wanda's was going to work.

"It's the spell y/n, let me concentrate." Wanda opens one eye a little, the angry red glaring at you in annoyance. Stepping back a few steps you cross your arms, raising an eyebrow when she begins to wave her arms around dramatically.

I took a hog jaw, a dog's paw
And hung them on the line-line (line-line, line-line-line)  
I took a horse hair, a green pair
And made a crazy sign-sign (sign-sign, sign-sign-sign)  

"I don't want to make him fall in love with me, it wouldn't be real..." You whisper, reaching a hand out gingerly to touch the liquid and Wanda swats your hand away.  

"It's not exactly a love potion, it will only work if the feelings are already there..." she grabbed a weird looking herb and dropped it into the cauldron causing a loud gurgling noise and smoke to billow around you both, "it will just give him a little....push." 

I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you
You'll never-never be untrue
You'll never-never be untrue  

"Now, the last ingredient..." She cuts a lock of your hair and with one last stir there's a loud whooshing sound, the potion rising up out of the cauldron spinning and flowing around the room in all directions until it stops, pouring into a tiny bottle that's now hovering in the air.  

Wanda snatches it and hands it to you, "put this in his food or drink, it should work straight away," you stare at the tiny bottle in your palm, unconvinced. All that for such a small potion? "go...and you'll finally have your answer."  

Too excited to wait you run straight to the kitchen and search the fridge for Bucky's vitamin shake. He always drank it first thing before training so it would be perfect. You paused a second just before tipping the liquid into the bottle. Was this really a good idea? You'd been pining over him for so long and he hadn't exactly seemed to reciprocate your feelings. Were you ready for the answer you didn't want? At least you'd know, you could move on.  

Taking a deep breath you let the potion drip into the bottle, watching the red liquid colour the shake before disappearing. You set the bottle back exactly as it was and retreat back to your own room, setting your alarm for early the next morning.
