When we arrive at Magnus' house he insists on giving Cary a reading using Tarot Cards, it continues like this for a couple of minutes until Clary cut him off.
"We're not actually here for a reading. We know you're a warlock Magnus." She says pausing for a couple of seconds before continuing "were shadowhunters"
He frowns before he starts to laugh t us "there are no more shadowhunters. Haven't been for hundreds of years."
"I can prove it." Clary says before standing to do god knows what, she pulls up her sleeve before turning her arm towards Magnus.
"All I see shadowhunter," he taunts "is that you could use a serious tan"
Right" Clary sighs before continuing "bad strategy, no runes in this dimension." Se looks around before picking up. Sketch pad and pencil that were laying na side table "We are from an alternate reality,"
"If that were true, without an anchor you'd be assimilating into the world," he shuts her down immediately
"Believe me, I am trying to fight it, she utters
"At least you've got an anchor" i mumble under my breath, quiet enough that no one heard me
"Referring back, that's part of why we need your help," she says turning the paper around and showing Magnus the picture she drew, she drew it in like two minutes which is literally impossible. " in our dimension, shadowhunters still battle demons and now there is something so much worse. We need your magic to help us stop it."
"Please" i add at the end of Clarys sentence
"I cant help you. My magics gone dormant." He rises form the chair he was sitting in and walks over to the window
"Then wake it up!" I exclaim getting annoyed at this whole conversation
_______
"This better work," Magnus states a couple minutes later, he made some sort of drink that supposedly helps ring his magic back
"What is that?" Clary asks scrunching her face up in disgust
"It should help kick start my magic." after sculling the drink
"And, did it?" I ask
Magnus shrugs "Give it a minute?" I tune out as he and Clary start talking some book and his bookshelf "This isn't working! This is the longest ive ever abstained." He complains "from a lot of things"
"Why dont you just try something simple?" I pipe up looking around "Move that" i point to a teacup
Magnus tries moving it but all he achieves is making a few puffs of blue smoke com out of his fingers before stopping again.
Usually you have a bit more of a-" Clary makes some weird gestures with her hands "flourish to it"
"I do not look like that." Magnus states
"Well....." i trail off shrugging my shoulders while Magnus glares at me, trying again only causing him to groan angrily when nothing happens
"Magnus, we just need to find the portal" Clary sighs
"Even if my magic was working, i still need an energy signature of some kind to track i," Magnus explains
"Maybe we try something different. I dont know how this came into this dimension with me-" she says removing her necklace
"Because its of this dimension." Magnus cuts her off eyeing the portal shard, "it belongs here" Clary hands her necklace to Magnus the second he touches it both of there bodies jolt "that's what im talking about. We have lift off."
Magnus looks round the room before looking at the shard again "the energy is very faint. Its been dormant for a long time. Like me. Lets see if we can wake it up."
Magnus tells us that the portal is in the Institute, with high security and technology to keep people out
Clary grins "The institute is hosting an anniversary part tonight that I have the hookup to ill get you on the list Magnus" looking down at her phone, "me and Hayley need to go, meet you out front tonight 7pm." She clips the necklace back around her neck "dress to impress"

Clary and i rush into Isabelle's "What's the emergency?"
Izzy turns around revealing a swollen eye, with a purple bruise that still looks like its getting darker
"OhMyGod, what happened?" I ask my eyes widening
"Kick boxing class, i thought 'why not', quick class and boom, home in time to see you guys."She says panicking
"Well you got the boom part right," Clary mutters
"Andreas foot right into my face. She has to pick today to finally land her roundhouse?!"
"Its okay we will fix this," Clary assures her, trying to calm her down
"Oh My God, what are people gonna think? And then Alec worked so hard to plan this, I just cant not go to the party! And what am i supposed to do, ive worked so hard-!"
"Hey-hey, take a deep breath i will get some makeup and fix this for you" i tell her leading her over to sit in front of the mirror and grabbing her makeup bag.
Izzy lets out a sigh "Okay. But then we are fixing Clary and Jace because the two of them not talking really messes with my chi." Izzy looks at the products in my hands "are you sure those are the colours?"
"Trust me, now let me work my magic." I say spinning the chair around to face me
"Okay, because if i dont show up to the part your dad and Simon are gonna kill me."
"So um, do you think you could get a friend of ours on the guest list for tonight?" Clary asks sitting down on her bed
"Uhm, well, if you make this work" she try's to turn and look at Clary but it doesnt work because im still putting makeup on her face "ill do anything for you."
After i finish doing Isabelle's makeup i spun her around in the chair so she could look in the mirror "Thankyou so much it looks normal" she smiles up at me
"Me and CLary should be heading off, we don't have dresses for tonight..."
"Clary, you brought your stuff here this morning." Izzy tells her "You brought two dresses to because you didn't know which one you wanted to wear. Now go get dressed we dont have long."
Clary looks in her bag and walks into the bathroom to get changed, i sit on the bed and look in my bag while i wait for Clary to get ready.
"That dress looks amazing." I tell her as she walks out of the bathroom.
_________
"Voila" I say spinning as i walk back into the room
"Now hurry up we are already 10minutes late." Izzy says pushing us out the door.
