"We need a tracking spell" Stated Alec. "Oh, we all know it`s just an excuse for you to see Magnus, it`s not like you need a permission slip to see your boyfriend!" Exclaimed Isabelle. "Let the lad go. This might be the last time someone likes him, but if you need advice for that I would suggest you don`t come to me since there is always someone drooling over me. They will even as I age" Jace put in, sitting on the chair- which looked uncomfortable- twiddling with his stele. He had his own reasons for wanting to see Magnus.

Later on they stood outside Magnus` appartment, but Clary and Simon were now with them. Alec opened the door, he froze. Isabelle opened it further annoyed that Alec was taking his time and she froze too. Magnus is sat with a girl, probably about our age Isabelle thought. She has smooth brown hair and grey eyes, probably just a bit taller than Isabelle -which made Isabelle glad that she wasn`t the only girl that had to look down on a lot of guys- she also had a mature look, as though she had been around for a long time.

Magnus looked up and saw Alec, there was a little twinkle to his eyes when he did. "Alec I didn`t know you was coming today, I thought you said you had plans" Magnus said. There was an awkwardness filling the room until Simon finally spoke decreasing the silence. "So, this one of your other friends?" Simon said putting a strain on the word "Friends". Magnus turned toward the girl who was sitting in what Clary thought a very lady-like position. The girl seemed somewhat familiar to Clary, but she couldn`t quite place her finger on it. "Why yes" Magnus answered to Simons question. "Alec...friends, meet Miss Theresa Gray" He turned to look at Theresa and said: "Or do you prefer Herondale?" Magnus added. "Gray please Magnus you know how I feel about...well you know...that!" Said Theresa and Clary saw an uneasiness pass in Theresa. Theresa turned towards the group. "Please call me Tessa and you must be Alexander, Magnus has told me all about you, there is a new story every day" Tessa said facing Alec. Before anyone could put in anything else Jace asked: "Are you a Herondale?" And Clary could tell there was a lot of curiosity coming from the questioned he just asked. "Sort of. Why do you ask?" Tessa said, shifting until she could get into a comfortable position. It was easy to tell that Tessa didn`t want to talk about it. Magnus was the next to speak. "Tessa meet Mr Jace Lightwood. He is the son of Mr Stephen Herondale. You knew him didn`t you?" It looked as if Magnus already knew that answer. Tessa froze, all eyes were on her. "Why yes, of course I would know him. Why wouldn`t I?" It was said as a rhetorical question. Magnus started helping her up. "It`s ok Magnus, I'm fine here" With that Magnus sat back down. "What do you mean by why wouldn`t I?" Clary asked. She hadn`t spoken yet and wished she hadn`t. She felt bad now, as though she was invading someone else's privacy. But everyone seemed to want to know and felt relief that she wasn`t the only one with the curiosity. Tessa replied. "Well that's because he`s my great, great grandson" Once she said this Jaces face widened and his lips parted as though he wanted to say something but the words wouldn`t come out. Tessa looked towards Magnus. "Magnus it`s three o`clock. He will be there soon and I need to get going" Tessa stood up and so did Magnus. "Ah, yes. It`s that time again is it? Time sure goes fast. You ready?" Magnus said. "This is my favourite day of the year" Tessa said answering Magnus` question.
