A/N: This story was written for Enchanted Wonders hosted by Marvelously Magical Fanfiction on Facebook. This collection is to spread the cheer of our Marvel/Harry Potter Crossovers!

My pairing was set to be Bellatrix Lestrange and Bucky Barnes, my Christmas Word was Secret Santa Gift Exchange and my spell was Geminio. All of these make an appearance in this story in some way.

I apologize in advance if this story seems disconjointed. I had several ideas and this is what ended up making it out of my fingers. Do I know why Bellatrix is with Bucky? Nope and I have no current plans of figuring that out at the moment. Just enjoy this silly story.

I hope you enjoy this story as well as the rest of the stories in the collection. I know that many of these authors have worked very hard on all of their collection pieces for this group as well as a few other holiday-themed events going on this time of year.

If you enjoyed my story and would like to check out some of my other works, feel free to search up starrnobella on most social media and you will be able to find a way to contact me outside of FFN.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Love always,

You are cordially invited to the Avengers Christmas party on Christmas Eve. Please find the name of the person you have received in the Secret Santa gift exchange enclosed. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Bucky let out a sigh as he pulled the slip of paper with his name on it out of the envelope. "I swear if Tony gave everyone his name, I'm going to throw him into a wall."

"He wouldn't do that," Bellatrix laughed, slipping her finger inside the folded piece of paper to open it. She paused for a moment and furrowed her brow, glancing at Bucky out of the corner of her eye. "Would he?"

"I wouldn't put it past him," Bucky huffed, opening the piece of paper up and scanning his eyes over the name. "Okay, good. I got someone easy."

Bellatrix rolled her eyes and shook her head as she unfolded her paper. Tony. She let out a groan and folded the piece of paper up and shoved it in her pocket. "You are certain you didn't get Tony?"

Bucky nodded his head. "I've got Nat - super easy."

"Lucky," Bellatrix groaned, shaking her head. "I got Tony. What do you get for a man who has everything or the power to buy anything that he could ever want?"

"I'd probably get him something stupid," Bucky replied, shrugging his shoulders. He paused as a thought crossed his mind. Bellatrix noticed his eyes light up as his idea came to fruition.

"What is that face for?" she asked, already dreading her decision to ask him.

"Get him an Iron Man figurine," Bucky said, tossing his head back with a laugh. "You can enchant it to talk, right?"

Bellatrix slowly nodded her head. "Can, yes. Should I? Probably not. But it's not a bad idea. I'll keep thinking about it, thanks for the idea though."

Bucky nodded his head and moved to grab his coat from beside the door. "I'm going to go pick up my idea for Nat from the store. I'll be back soon. Do you want me to grab dinner?"

"Dinner would be great," Bellatrix replied, nodding her head aimlessly. Of all the Avengers, she would be the one to get Tony. Bucky was probably right. It'd be easiest to get him some stupid gag gift and call it a night rather than take it seriously.

. . . . . . . . . .

"We're going to be late," Bellatrix grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting her lip. "I can't believe you convinced me to jump in the shower with you. I knew better. I knew we'd be late." Bellatrix sank into the seat and shook her head.

"You weren't complaining," Bucky teased, squeezing her thigh with his hand.

"That's not the point!" she shouted, pulling his hand off her thigh and tossing it back to his side of the car. She motioned out the window. "Plus, it's snowing. I can barely see the road. You need to be careful."

"Relax, Bell," Bucky said, moving his hand back over to her lap. "Besides, the later we get there, the sooner we can leave." He winked at her as he squeezed her thigh again.

Bellatrix rolled her eyes, shaking her head as she leaned back into the seat and rested her hand on his. "Unless we get snowed in there…" she answered, her voice trailing off as she looked out the window.

The rest of the car ride to Tony's building was quiet as Bellatrix's mind wandered to memories of Christmas past. Her childhood Christmas memories were not the happiest of memories, but she wouldn't trade those memories for anything. Now as an adult, she was grateful to Bucky for taking the sad memories she had and replacing them with happy ones.

"We're almost there," Bucky said, breaking the silence and pulling Bellatrix out of her thoughts. He turned his head to look at her. "You okay?"

Just as Bellatrix opened her mouth to respond, she heard Bucky cursing and trying to fight the wheel to keep the car on the road. The tires were spinning and the car was pulled off the side of the road.

"Put your head down!" Bucky shouted, leaning over to cover her body as the car smacked into the barrier on the side of the road. He tucked his head against the top of hers as the airbags exploded against his arm. Bellatrix heard him curse under his breath as the bag made contact with his arm.

They sat, huddled up, taking a few deep breaths in the hopes of calming themselves down. Bucky was the first to pull away. He studied Bellatrix's face before caressing her cheek with his hand and brushing his thumb against her skin.

"Are you okay?" he whispered.

Bellatrix nodded her head slowly. "What about you?"

Bucky rotated his shoulder to look at the back of his arm. There was blood pooling on his sleeve. "I'm fine," he shrugged, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Just a little blood. I've been hurt worse."

Bellatrix sighed, pushing up in her seat and reaching for his arm. "Let me see." She moved so that she could see the back of Bucky's arm. A hiss escaped her lips as she shook her head. "This is more than a little blood. I need my wand."

Bucky moved back, giving her room to reach her seatbelt and turn in the seat. Her bag was in the back seat and she could see the wand balanced on top of Tony's gift. Bellatrix leaned over the seat and wrapped her hand around the wand, as she went to pick it up, she bumped the top of her wand against the top of the box.

"Shit," Bellatrix groaned, leaning back on her haunches as she moved back into her seat.

"What's wrong?" Bucky asked, furrowing his brow.

"I bumped Tony's gift with my wand," Bellatrix mumbled, shaking her head as she watched the box start to shake. After a few moments, a second box appeared on top of her bag.

"Bell…" Bucky said, his voice trailing off as he watched several more boxes appear in the back seat. "What's going on?"

Bellatrix brought her hand to her face, covering it as she continued to shake her head. "I knew I should have waited to cast the Geminio until we got to Tony's house."

"Geminio?" Bucky asked, his eyes growing wide as the backseat filled quickly with presents. "Am I losing my mind or is your gift multiplying?"

"They are," Bellatrix replied, glancing out the window. "And we're getting snowed into our car on the side of the road."

"When is the multiplying supposed to stop?" Bucky asked, biting back a laugh as another present appeared. He had to admit, it was a brilliant prank had it been executed properly.

Bellatrix pinched the bridge of her nose. "On New Year's Eve," she admitted, closing her eyes shut tight and taking a deep breath. "I can't believe I bumped the top of the box."

Bucky broke out in a fit of laughter, leaning over to press a kiss to Bellatrix's cheek. "It was a beautiful prank, love," he teased, "the timing is just a little off."

Bellatrix opened her mouth to respond when there was a knock at her window. She turned to see Steve standing outside the car. In an attempt to open the car door, Bellatrix pointed her wand at the lock. "Alohomora."

Once the door was unlocked, Steve pulled the door open. "Are you two okay?"

"We're okay," Bellatrix and Bucky answered in unison.

"But we could use a ride to Tony's if you don't mind," Bucky added, offering a hand to Steve, wincing at the reminder of the cuts up and down his arm.

Steve nodded and moved to grab their belongings out of the backseat. He paused momentarily when he saw the mound of presents. "Do I want to know?"

Bellatrix shook her head furiously. "Just grab one and we can get the rest later."
