Magnus POV

I was going to get my lunch bag since I had forgotten it, when I heard a heavy thud coming from the library. I rushed to the room just in time to see one of the transfer students–I think his name was Jace–fall on the ground. A demon was the cause of it. I immediately cast a spell and the demon disintegrated.

I walked over to the crumpled form of Jace and got a closer look at his wound. It wasn't too large in size and I would be surprised that it caused him to fall if I didn't notice the telltale sign of poison. The veins around the wound were turning dark purple–almost black– due to it.

I wasn't too shocked to find out that the new transfer students were shadowhunters. It would explain their sudden appearance. Along with the rumours of increased demon activity I had heard from the pandemonium.

For now I decided to stop the poison from spreading and took out his phone from his pocket. I scrolled down his contacts and called the one labeled 'boss man.' I could only hope that it was one of his associates.

"What is it now Jace." Was the first thing I heard when they picked up. It seemed I was right because the voice sounded a lot like Alexander.

"Hi, it's Magnus." I introduced myself. "You might want to come to the library real quick."

The call was abruptly ended and I assumed that he was coming. Sure enough, not even a minute latter, blue eyes walked through the door along with a few of his friends. Before I could say anything or explained he charged at me.

"What have you done to my brother!" He yelled.

"Calm down." I commanded. "I haven't done anything. There seemed to have been a demon attack and your brother got poisoned. I have stopped it from spreading but if we don't do anything soon he might die." He seemed to have finally calmed down and seemed to be thinking.

"Okay, well thank you for your help. We'll take it from here." He said. "Clary, can you go down to the office and tell them that we are leaving? If they ask, tell them we got food poisoning. Izzy, activate your stealth rune. We have to make sure no one sees us leave since it would be a bit suspicious, with us carrying a unconscious body and everything."

At this point they seemed to be ignoring me. I cleared my throat to get there attention. "And how do you expect to cure him?" I asked. That seemed to make them quiet for a second until Alexander decided to respond.

"I don't see how that is any of your business warlock."

"What if I told you I could help? Not that I feel very inclined to, considering how you have been treating me." I replied, miffed by his tone.

His face seemed to morph into a look of guilt. "I'm sorry, I'm just worried. If there is anything you can do to help we would appreciate it."

"Tell me your address. I'll meet you there since I have to get my tools from home. I will do everything in my power to save your friend." I said with a soft tone.

I left the room with a piece of paper that had their address written on it. When I reached my flat I quickly gave chairman meow–my cat–some food and went to my office to get my tools. After I gathered everything, I headed to their flat to get started.

When I walked in I was met with a solemn silence. It seemed that Jace's condition was getting worse. I went into his room and started to set up.

"You guys have to leave. I can't work if you're in the room." I told them.

"Do you expect us to leave you alone with Jace?! We barely even know you!" Clary said. She seemed hysterical and her face was blotchy from crying. Blue eyes put a hand on her shoulder and directed her to the door. Izzy was standing there and seemed to have been crying as well. Alexander didn't look too far from bawling his eyes out either. Izzy took Clary and went into the living room.

"Make sure you fix our brother." Alexander said, before he too left the room. I decided to get to work since there was no time to waste. Many hours later I walked into the living room to inform them that their brother was okay. They jumped up in joy and Izzy ran to hug me.

"Can we talk to him?" Clary asked.

I nodded. "But don't tire him out. He's barely awake." That was all they needed to hear because they dashed to his room. I decided to follow them to make sure they didn't put too much stress on Jace.

I didn't want to interrupt so I stood by the doorway.

"Ha...you didn't think I would die so pathetically did you?" Jace said weakly.

"I'm so glad your ok." Clary said as she hugged Jace tightly.

"That reminds me. You know the woman in the front office? Well I saw her in the room and the demons seemed to be following her orders." He said, becoming more alert as he continued. "I think her name was Veronica."

I went back to the living room so they didn't catch me watching them. I was planning to go in but when Jace started to talk about Veronica I didn't want them to think I was eavesdropping on them. Alexander came into the room soon after.

"What can we do to thank you? Do you want payment?" He asked.

"Don't worry, for you my services are free." I said with a wink. I exited the apartment, leaving Alexander blushing in the living room.

I walked back to my flat, too tired to portal there. I took a nice long bath and went to my desk. I had a letter to write.
