My first time writing with three people being in love with each other. That's by far my favorite fanfiction. I LOVED TO WRITE THIS.

I must say that this story doesn't attempt to depict a polyamory relationship considering how it looks like in reality. Polyamory is not that easy and not that simple. The way I describe it here is just for the sake of the story.

I changed their ages a bit. Teddy has 20 years old, James has 17 and Louis has 15.
I LOVE James/Louis, but somehow this idea was way more interesting with Teddy as well. I must say that they love each other equally.

Thanks a lot to my beta-reader, Dani. You're the best! *-*

I know this is an unpopular 'pairing'. If you're reading this I'm glad to have you here. If you could send me a review it would mean a lot to me.

DISCLAIMER: These characters are not mine, not even the songs used here at the begining of each chapter.

This is my church of choice… Love`s strength standeth… In love`s sacrifice"

Teddy was like his particular fortress, his safe point.

Teddy was the first person in whom James could trust completely.

It was Teddy, with barely five years old; who listened to James' complains and brushed away the tears from his brown eyes when Mum told him that they would give him a brother. Because he couldn't have one, he would be ostracized because of this new baby. James begged to Teddy for them to run away, even if he himself was just two-years-old, barely able to climb a staircase. Teddy agreed, but he was the one there helping James when he was so infatuated with his new baby brother with huge, shinning green eyes.

Teddy was there when James was finally allowed to have his own broom, Teddy was also there to help James when he broke his ankle during a flight, and he also took all the blame to himself when Harry started arguing furiously at their recklessness.

When Teddy left for Hogwarts, James was devastated. Teddy was almost a Potter and he meant a lot to James, like a big, big brother. He could never talk to Albus (not to mention Lily, barely a five-year-old tiny red-haired baby) like he could do to Teddy.

But then there was Louis, a cousin that he had barely contact with since he moved to France as a seven month baby due to his parent's divorce.

When his ex-Aunt Fleur had to take a new job in America, she agreed to let her children live with their father. It was hard for Uncle Bill to take care of three children all by himself. The most rational choice was to live next to Molly Weasley.

When James was sinking in his sadness because of Teddy's absence for almost two weeks he stumbled on the poor blond kid, sleeping on the kitchen's floor. At first James thought that someone had invaded his grandparents' house. He was so numb on his sadness that he couldn't remember that the blond kid was family, his cousin who was introduced to him four days ago when they arrived from Lyon.

The poor kid was frightened, his baby blue eyes glistening with tears, his downy, impossibly soft cheeks red and soaked. In a mix of French and English, he told James that he was scared, that he could hear the noises of the vampire on the attic.

He had the same age as Albus. James stole a piece of cake (as he planned before leaving bed) and shared it with Louis. Then he took the kid to the room he was sharing with Albus and Fred. He cuddled his French cousin by his side and stroked his platinum blond locks until he was finally asleep.

He was overprotective about Louis.

He was a charming, funny kid... his Louis, Curious, eager to explore Grandma's house, all smiles and giggles. Poor Al, but Louis was probably the most beautiful child James ever saw. His sisters were also stunning (Dominique was the same age as James, and Victoire was ready to join Hogwarts by the next year).

James wrote hundreds of letters to Teddy, telling about their new cousins, telling him about Louis. During that first Christmas since Teddy started Hogwarts, the three of them spent a lot of time together. It was blissful. They went to hunt gnomes, they helped Louis with his broom, they ate a lot of candies, they watched the stars, they cuddled to sleep and Teddy always remembered to cover the young ones with a duvet.

James had Louis for two years until it was his time to go to Hogwarts. His poor cousin was crying uncontrollably when they said goodbye to one another. It broke James' heart most than the sobbing of Albus and Lily's screams while trying to escape from Harry's arms.

But he would have Teddy in Hogwarts. Except for the fact that thirteen-year-old Teddy never allowed James to have with him the kind of friendship they'd had until the previous year. He was kind to James, they talked a lot, James also ate at the Hufflepuff table, so did Teddy at Gryffindor's. But sometimes Teddy was abnormally distressed, even violent.

Slowly, it made James back away. And his Teddy became just Teddy Lupin.

When James himself was on his third year he saw Louis' wide smile when the Hat sent him to Ravenclaw, the same house of his two sisters. James told Louis everything about Hogwarts; he showed him the secret passages, the Quidditch pitch, the Owlery, even the Gryffindor Tower. On his first weekend ever on Hogsmeade, he brought a lot of sweets from Honeydukes to his French cousin, just like Teddy did to him when James was a first year.

But then in the middle of the term, Louis was strange. He missed classes, he was aggressive to his sisters to the point that Victoire was caught crying at the dining table because of the sulky behavior of her young sibling.

James asked what was happening to Louis. Was someone being mean to him? Was he in pain? What James could do to help?

Louis was sour to him. And slowly they drifted apart.

But James got over it, like he did to Teddy. They were still friends, like everyone of their cousins. They loved to wander together at the castle's huge garden or at Hogsmeade. The Weasley-Potter-Lupin gang. They had a decent Hogwarts time compared to their parent's.

Teddy left and then Victoire followed.

Now it was time for James, Fred and Dominique to finish their education. It was a stressing year due to the NEWTs and the pressure to define the paths of their future as adults. James never felt so distressed.

It was during the holiday's break that his troubled mind went completely numb.

James was trying to find some very special roots to practice some potions and also write an essay to professor Longbottom. He was wandering alone in the forest next to the Burrow when he heard a whimper.

Carefully, with his wand on his hands, James approached the voices, cautiously hiding beneath trees and bushes.

And there were they, Teddy and Louis.

Louis's gracious elegant neck bled. Teddy held a damp piece of cloth, smearing a weird green liquid on Louis' skin. His usual blue hair was dark blue, almost black. Louis grimaced.

They mumbled something, Teddy avoided Louis' gaze. But then Louis' lanky fingers grabbed Teddy's chin. They looked at each other.

Their hairs were tousled, their clothes disheveled. They were slightly red-faced.

They were there, kissing passionately until James couldn't help a scream of shock.

The couple was immediately startled, Louis got abnormally pale, covering his mouth with his hands. Teddy's hair was suddenly bright, bright purple.

It was his color for fear.

James ran as much as his legs allowed him. He heard Teddy screaming to him, but he ignored.
