Chapter 12

Harry's Explanation & Voldemort's Plan

A/N: This Chapter will contain a lime. If you do not like this sort of thing then don't read it, or just skip it.

Madame Promfrey was just getting ready to close the hospital wing doors, when Harry and Daphne arrived pushing past her before she could do so. Getting over to one of the beds, Harry helped Daphne into the bed. Turning to Promfrey, Harry said, "Daphne will explain Madame Promfrey, I have to go see Professor Dumbledore".

Turning to Daphne herself, Harry leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead while whispering that he'd return shortly. After this he left and headed back to Dumbledore's office. "Acid Pops" Harry panted at the stone gargoyle which at the mention of the password sprang aside for Harry to walk up the stone staircase. Without even bothering to knock, Harry pushed open the door and walked inside, startling the old headmaster.

"I'm sorry to run in on you, Professor but there's been a situation involving my "other" and Marcus Flint."

"Please explain" Dumbledore said walking down and sitting at his desk in front of Harry.

" I was on my way back to the dormitory when we finished our lesson tonight, and when I neared the great staircase, I saw Marcus Flint dragging a female student towards that unused classroom near Defense. When I looked closer, I saw that it was Daphne who Flint was dragging. The asshole was trying to rape her, and the Rider came over me and I stopped him before he could complete the deed, but the Rider ended up turning Flint to ash."

"And where is Miss. Greengrass now Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"I changed back to myself and took her to the hospital wing" Harry said.

"Alright head back there and talk to her, but be careful how you explain your situation" Dumbledore explained.

Harry nodded before he left the office and headed back to the hospital wing. Upon his arrival, he saw that Daphne was propped up in the same bed where he had placed her and she was reading a book that she had magicked to her with her wand. Madame Promfrey was no where to be seen which told Harry that she had gone to bed after fixing Daphne up.

"Hey are you feeling better Daphne?" Harry asked as he sat down in the chair beside her bed.

"Better then before, Madame Promfrey healed me up quick" Daphne said before marking her place in her book and placing it down on the bedside table.

"That..That's really good, I was worried when I saw how bad it was" Harry said.

"Harry are you here to tell me how the hell you're skull was on fire?" Daphne asked biting her bottom lip, as she was not a hundred percent positive that she wanted to know.

"Yes but it's a rather long story and I'm not sure even how to begin."

"Try me".

"Alright, well at the end of last year when I was taking my History of Magic O.W.L., I sort of fell asleep and had a dream or rather nightmare of Sirius falling through a stone arch-way in the Department of Mysteries. I woke up from the nightmare and finished my O.W.L. before leaving the great hall. When it was down to the last few days before summer break, I had gone down to the lake to enjoy the good weather when an old man appeared. He had graying hair, dark blue eyes, and was wearing a jet-black suit. He was also leaning on a cane topped with a silver skull. This old man asked me what was wrong and I explained my nightmare. He proceeded to tell me that he could help me for a price".

"What sort of price?" Daphne asked.

Harry fell silent after that, unsure on how he could explain that the price was his soul. How do you tell someone that you sold your soul to save the life of someone who for a long time thought was a murderer and that you yourself thought that he had betrayed your parents. Harry even found himself wondering if it had all been a figment of his imagination, however it was the arrival of Johnny Blaze into his life that changed those thoughts.

"Harry what was it?"

Clearing his throat, Harry fixed his eyes on Daphne's and whispered "my soul".

Daphne's eyes widened as this was not what she had expected. She actually expected it to be a some kind of advanced spell or something that Dumbledore had taught him.

Harry continued on with his story and told Daphne how during the summer Johnny Blaze had appeared and had broken the news to him that he had sold his soul to Mephistopheles and that by selling his soul, Harry had become The Ghost Rider, otherwise known as the devil's bounty hunter. Harry then went on to explain that Johnny was also a Ghost Rider, him having sold his soul to save his father from cancer.

"When I'm in the presence of evil, no matter how bad, The Rider takes over. I'm still me but just with something new added to my core. In fact I think Mephistopheles gave me this power so I'll have an advantage against Voldemort when that day comes".

"Wait, are you saying that it's going to come down to just the two of you? One on one?"

"Yes during the summer, Dumbledore stopped by and told me of this prophecy that was made concerning both me and Voldemort. Basically its going to have to be just him and me in the end. However Dumbledore is teaching me of a way to make sure that Voldemort will be the one that falls and not me".

Chewing her bottom lip, Daphne took a few minutes to process everything that Harry had just told her. Her rational side of her mind was figuring that this whole thing was crazy and that she should've never written to Harry in the first place and keep her crush all to herself. However the other side of her mind wanted to throw it all to the wind and help Harry no matter what. Whether it be her giving up her life, or knowing that he was the devil's bounty hunter.

Harry was a little worried when Daphne did not say anything at first. He was sure that she didn't want to see him again, especially when in his Rider form, he could do some serious damage to people, even if it was just the bad ones.

"Daphne are you alright with this?" Harry asked softly.

Daphne fixed her liquid sapphire eyes with Harry's emerald ones, and said "While I do find this surprising, I don't care if you're the devil's bounty hunter. What I do care about is you facing Voldemort all alone and much like Dumbledore is, I want to help you prepare for that day, whenever it comes".

A small smile crossed Harry's lips as he leaned down and brushed his lips against Daphne's forehead. "Thanks for not getting freaked out" he said.

Daphne returned the smile before saying "After Promfrey gives me a clean bill of health, I plan on returning the thanks for saving me from Flint".

"You don't need to thank me Daphne, and you'll never have to" Harry said.

"When is your next lesson with Dumbledore?" Daphne asked as she grabbed her wand and with which she tapped her bed making it grow from a twin size up to a full size.

"Don't know yet, Dumbledore said he'll get a message to me saying whenever it will be" Harry said as he slid his robe and t-shirt off and placed them in the chair before he slid into bed beside Daphne.

"Hmm" Daphne said as she laid her head on Harry's chest where within minutes fell asleep while listening to his heart beat. Harry himself soon fell asleep as he ran his fingers through Daphne's hair.

Two weeks had passed since Daphne was subjected to the torture curse and was almost raped by Flint. A few days after the incident and she was released with a clean bill of health. During the week, Harry and Daphne did their best to focus on their schooling and work because they still had high hopes to doing well this year with Harry wanting it more then Daphne since she always did good every year. She was Slytherin's own Hermione. However once their classes were over, Harry and Daphne would usually spend time down by the lake or in the library with each other.

At the present time, Harry and Daphne were sitting cuddling under the large oak tree next to the black lake. The sky was a crystal clear blue with just a few fluff of clouds drifting lazily across the sun every now and then. Both had just finished their two scroll essay for Tonks on defending oneself against the inferius.

Hiding a grin to herself, Daphne suddenly moved so that she was straddling Harry, pressing her body to his. Having obviously not expected it, Harry arched an eyebrow slightly as he looked up at the grinning Daphne. "Do I even want to know what you're planning?" Harry asked.

"Hmm no probably not" Daphne said as she started rocking her hips which caused Harry to hiss slightly.

Grinning down at Harry, Daphne continued to rock her hips causing Harry to moan and arch his back. Feeling Harry's erection pressing up against her through his jeans, Daphne slipped off Harry's lap and moved between his legs.

"Wh..What are you doing Daphne?" Harry gasped as he felt her fingers undoing his jeans and tugging them down along with his boxers.

"Returning my thanks for saving me from Flint" Daphne whispered as she leaned down and flicked her tongue against the tip of Harry's cock.

"Y..You don't have to do that Daphne" Harry gasped out looking down at her.

"I know I don't have to do this Harry, but I want to" Daphne said before she sucked the tip of Harry's cock into her mouth.

Knowing that there wasn't much he could do to change Daphne's mind, Harry just leaned back and closed his eyes as Daphne began bobbing her head up and down his member, slowly taking him deeper into her mouth. Reaching down, Harry slowly ran his fingers through Daphne's hair as she sucked him off.

Keeping a steady pace as she bobbed her head up and down Harry's member, Daphne reached up with her right hand and cupped Harry's balls, lightly squeezing and massaging them.

"Oh god don't stop Daphne" Harry moaned as he tightened his grip in Daphne's hair as she used her mouth to bring him closer to climaxing.

Fixing her liquid sapphire eyes with Harry's emerald ones, Daphne began to hum against Harry's member, her throat vibrating against it. Arching his back, Harry gasped as his climax ripped through his body, his member shooting his load down Daphne's throat.

Feeling Harry's member start to shoot its load down her throat, Daphne closed her eyes and started to swallow every drop. While the taste itself was salty, she still enjoyed it as it was from Harry and not some random guy. Once she was positive that Harry was finished, she pulled her mouth away and licked her lips.

"Fuck Daphne that was amazing" Harry gasped out when he had finally come down from cloud nine.

"It's no problem Harry and maybe later you can return the favor" Daphne said with a wink.

Meanwhile in Malfoy Manor, Voldemort was pacing in the large, luxurious library on the second floor. Clearly Dumbledore had found out his horcrux secret and it was only a matter of time before the old man told it to Potter. Knowing full-well that there was only one thing to do to save his horcruxes, Voldemort could only do one thing and withdraw the pieces of his soul back into him. This unfortunately was a double sided sword, as for the good side he would become more powerful. On the other hand the process would be extremely painful and there was a chance that it could even kill him. He had a choice and it wasn't an easy one.

Turning to the thick, heavy black leather bound book that sat on the table, Voldemort scanned the page that he opened it to. Unfortunately there were several problems that prevented him from reading it clearly. First and foremost the entire page was written in Latin. In order to translate it, he would need to find a translating spell. The second problem was that the page was filled with moth holes and discoloring. If he was to do this, he needed to translate this spell perfectly. Being extra careful, Voldemort pulled the fresh scroll of parchment to him and he pressed it onto the page of the book. Giving his wand a flick, Voldemort watched as the words on the page bled onto the piece of parchment. Within five minutes, the spell was finished, and now Voldemort had a fresh copy of the spell that he could use to return his soul pieces back to him.

A/N: End of Chapter 12. I apologize for the long update, for some reason this chapter took a long time for me to write. If any of you have seen Ghost Rider 1 then you should know where I'm going with this :D Please Read and Review!
