Title: His Actium
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Warnings: Sex, infidelity, manipulation, angst. EWE.
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Harry/others implied.
Rating: R
Summary: Harry learned the skill of reading people in sheer self-defense after the war. He became good enough at it that the Ministry uses him as an unusual part of its Auror force: he goes undercover and seduces the powerful or suspects whose guilt is in doubt. The Ministry assigns him to Draco Malfoy, widely suspected of smuggling without the proof to back it up, and Harry assumes it will be another challenge in a long string of them. It doesn't quite work out that way.
Author's Notes: This fic was inspired by an anonymous commenter who, some months ago, suggested a story where Harry seduces men for the Ministry's sake. Accordingly, it's not very romantic, at least at first. The title refers to the decisive battle between Antony and Octavian for control of the Roman Empire. This story should have nine or ten chapters, and with some luck, will be updated every Saturday evening.
