Author's Note: Thank you to Kim and Mel for the speedy beta jobs! Also, this was my first attempt at not only being as minimal as I could, but also using dialogue as opposed to internal monologue as a driver. I'm not sure how well it turned out, but I would really appreciate con-crit! Go team EWE!

Title: The Mark of a Civilised Man
Team: EWE
Author: jamie2109
Prompt: 11. When in doubt, apparate.
Wordcount: 18500
Rating: R
Warnings: None.
Summary: Harry and Draco face each other in fight for a seat on the Wizengamot. A fight Draco is sure that this time, he can win. But a third, more malignant force arrives on the scene. One that, left unchecked, could mean a return to the dark times of a Voldemort-run Ministry. Can they fight their rising passion for each other long enough to thwart the ambitions of a practised manipulator?
Author's Note: Big huge thanks to my wonderful aoife for her help with the plot and blamebrampton for the amazing beta. Without those ladies this may have been a pretty incoherent pile of twaddle.

The interpretation for this prompt I am using is 'when all is lost, withdraw and live to fight another day.'
