Tree Houses

these characters belong to cassandra clare, i do not own any of them.

'you know I'm not actually a mundane anymore' Simon shouted up to Jace, who was sitting in a tree house him and alec had built in the garden of the institute (the garden wasn't on consecrated ground luckily) and they had painted no mundanes allowed across the roof in sprawling red paint, much to Simons annoyance, but Simon wasn't a mundane anymore. Clary and Isabelle were sat on a bench messing with each other's hair and talking so Simon didn't really want to get involved in that, who knew what they could be talking about, so instead he was stood at the base of the tree. He had already climbed the tree but it seemed Jace (or Alec) had put a locking rune on the trap door.

'We know you're not a mundane' jace shouted.

'Well let me in'

'how about no downworlders then' alec smirked as he climbed out of the window, onto the roof and painted over mundane, and changed it to downworlder.

'Don't start this again, youre worse than the clave put together!'

'ha, we know' jace shouted down, laughing. At that point Magnus showed up, strolling into the backyard, looking annoyed.

'I have been ringing your doorbell for half and hour! . . . okay, slight exaggeration there but anyway, I eventually opened the door myself – '

'how?' alec asked confused.

'err magic darling? And I went inside to find church clawing on the sanctuary door, and I couldn't get that open, magic or none so I came round here'

'well you found us' simon said. 'they wont let me up there, so I doubt they would let you up there. It's no downworlders allowed' simon said, mimicking jaces voice badly.

'oh, alec, you'll let me in won't you' magnus asked nicely, like manners were gonna do him any good with jace around.

'oka –' alec began to say but he was promptly cut off by jace whispering harshly ' don't you dare let him in, or I will take all your weapons and lock church in your room'

'sorry magnus, but youre still a downworlder.' Alec said solemnly.

'fine' Magnus said and stalked over to the other big tree in the yard, flinging his scarf over his neck as he went. He clicked his fingers and with a few blue sparks an amazing tree house appeared in the tree he was standing under. It had a bed a sofa, a TV, a frigde, everything. He climed up the ladder and once he was inside clicked again and ONLY WARLOCKS ALOWED appeared on the roof in gorgeous handwriting, and a purple haze spread around the tree house, wards.

Isabelle looked up in astonishment and exclaimed 'when did you build that!?'

'in case you haven't noticed, It was magic' Jace shouted to isabelle with a sneer. 'You may have a lovely tree house but unfortunately, it seems you are all alone in there' he directed at Magnus.

Simon decided to give up on getting into the tree houses and went to sit with clary and Isabelle, to watch Jace and Magnus argue. Magnus did not respond to Jaces comment, but instead magnus' phone started ringing. His ringtone was the beatles.

'What the fuck is that music Magnus?!' Jace shouted.

'It is my ringtone, don't tell me you don't know who the band is?'

'Jace is as far as separated from mundane culture as he calls it that I actually don't think he will know' clary said, still fiddling with Isabelle's hair.

Magnus answered his phone then and Simon told jace it was the beatles, explaining about them. 'You're still not coming in daylighter' Jace replied much to simons annoyance.
