Magnus is all gloomy because Alec keeps breaking his heart. Now I want to smack Alec for hearting my dear Magnus. I pat Magnus' back. He kept looking at the table. "I could burn him into crisps if you want." I tell Magnus. He chuckles in amusement.

"Morning." Clary says as her and Jace sit down in a chair. Clary had a black eye which makes me feel proud. How about I just show you why.

You've got to be kidding me. Now I'm in trouble for burning a room. Great. Not only that, I got a cat and named it Church. Where's Izzy when you need her. I see Clary walking towards me. I squint my eyes at her.

"Hey, can we talk." She says softly making me burst out laughing. Her, talking to me, softly. Wow, are we going to die or what? "Please." She says.

"No, you can tell me what ever it is that you want here." I tell her as I cross my arms. She rolls her eyes and scoff. She looks at me serious.

"You need to stop burning things. Not many people know you have powers. And keep that negative energy down." She tells me annoyed. I give her a glare. "Just because Alec doesn't want you-

Yeah that was my last straw. I punch her in the eye making her fly backwards. She lets out a gasp as she holds her eye. I might have had used my powers on that hand. Clary let's put a cry. I shrug and walk over her and continue while people run to her.

"Morning. You just came from training?" Jace says gesturing to Clary's eye. I snicker making Jace look at me confused while Clary glares at me mad.

"Yeah. I'm, uh, workin' on my right hook." Clary says crossing her arms. I clearly don't need to. Magnus looks at me suspiciously so I shrug innocently.

"Good. That's a good punch." Jace says awkwardly. I gag. Both Clary and Jace were siblings which means Jace is like myStep brother, wait... also Liv's. Ewwww.

"YeH. I'm, uh, I'm workin' on it." Clary says again might I add.

"You already said that idiot." I say crossing my legs.

"While this conversation is no don't scintillating, remind me any we couldn't do this at my place?" Magnus says waving his hands around. He sits up. "At least there we'd have cocktails."

"It's 9:00 in the morning." Clary tells him confused. Magnus waves her off.

"Oh, it's happy hour somewhere, my dear." Magnus says shrugging. I nod. I can't even drink cocktails.

"We invited you here, Magnus, because Hodge can't leave the institute." Jace tells Magnus. "He's an important part of this mission." Jace tells him.

"Well, then, where is this tardy little tutor?" Magnus asks. "There are certain individuals that I'd like to avoid, so let's make this quick." Magnus says right as Hodge comes into the room. I always get a bad feeling about Hodge.

"Pardon the delay, Magnus. I was filling up on a lead." Hodge says walking in closer to me and Magnus. Magnus gives Hodge a blank but dirty look. "Now, we've narrowed down our list of warlocks to these three." Hodge says turning on the screen. There were three pictures.

"Why is Ragnor Fell up there? He's not more powerful than i am." Magnus notes to Hodge.

"Well, some would disagree. He is older than you." Hodge points out. That doesn't mean anything.

"Certainly not wiser." Magnus tells him.

"Who is Ragnor Fell?" Clary asks. She was still standing up with arms crossed. She looks at everyone except me.

"The former High Warlock of London." Jace tells her. Magnus turns to them.

"And one of my oldest friends. Very prickly, likes to keep to himself." Magnus says as he runs his thumb and pointer fingers together.

"Okay, look. We just need to figure out which one of these warlocks had enough access to Jocelyn that they could create the potion for her without anyone discovering what they'd done." Hodge says.

"By the early '90s. Ragnor was a professor at the Shadowhunter Academy in Idris." Magnus tells Hodge.

"Isn't that when my mother lived there?" Clary interrupts Magnus. "Could he have made the potion for her?" Clary says making Magnus realize something.

"The little bugger! That's why he hasn't responded to my fire message. Ever since Valentine began hunting warlocks. Ragnor a been hold up in his secret country house but outside of London. For all I know, Ragnor suspected my fire message was a ploy by Valentine to lure bin out of hiding." Magnus says. "We'll have to go front him face-to-face."

"You're going on this mission?" Hodge asks Magnus.

"If course! I'm the only one Ragnor trusts. Besides, I've played my last hand here. Even I know when to fold." Magnus says getting up. I follow along. When we turn around Lydia and Alec appear making me jump. Magnus and me frown.

"Magnus, I didn't know you were here." Lydia tells Magnus.

"That was the point." Magnus mutters. My eye twitches when I look at Alec. I wanna just slap him so bad. Nobody hurts Magnus.

"We're just on our way to greet a few representatives of the Clave who arrived early for tomorrow's wedding." Lydia says.

"No one asked fake Barbie." I tell Lydia as I cross my arms. She gives me a look then she looks at Magnus.

"How long are you staying?" She asks Magnus.I grab Magnus arm and squint my eyes at her. She already has Alec.

"What's going on here? Nobody told me about a meeting." Alec says sternly. I roll my eyes.

"Magnus figured out that Ragnor Fell is the warlock who can wake my mom. We're just bringing him back to the Institute." Clary tells Alec.

"How can I help?" Alec asks crossing his arms. It took my all to not look at his arms.

"We're just recovering a warlock, Alec. We got this covered." Jace tells Alec.

"Besides, you have emissaries from the Clave to meet." I tell Alec as I tilt my head.

"You don't want to tarnish your family's perfectly-crafted image now, do you?" Magnus asks Alec. Both Alec and Magnus stare at each other.

"Again, lovely seeing you, Magnus." Lydia tells Magnus. Magnus chuckles sadly.

"Not very lovely to see you though." I mutter. Lydia and Alec walk away. I look at Magnus. "I say we go drink some cocktails." I say smiling. Magnus looks at me.

"You can't even drink my little Mermaid. You won't be having a single sip." Magnus tells me. I groan.

"What! Why? We don't have to tell anyone." I say as me and Magnus walk away.
