In this reading Clary learns that the Clave has sent Shadowhunters, but that's all that Hodge was told. Hodge gave Clary a sleeping potion because she was having trouble sleeping, but she spills it and Jace tells her a horrible bedtime story instead. She was woken up by Isabelle and told to get dressed for Bane's party. She couldn't wear her clothes because she'd stick out too much. She was stuck with a tight black dress on her, but it was a shirt on Isabelle. She also had fishnet tights and boots. Isabelle does Clary's hair and make-up. Clary figures out Alec is gay, but she isn't allowed to tell anyone because it's frowned upon by the elders. Simon was astonished by how Clary looked. Jace was more laid back, but says he likes the dress. He took Clary's hair out of the bun too. They arrive at the party, but Magnus Bane says he doesn't remember inviting them. They have an ivitation though, so he lets them in. He tells them not to kill anyone. They tell Jace to try not to make him mad so they can still get help from him.

I think that Clary is attracted to Jace. She seems to always act like it around him and she even talks to him about people being attracted to him every once in a while. I thought it was kind of funny that even though she didn't like the bedtime story Jace told her, she fell asleep quickly after that. I didn't even realize before that Clary even had the smallest thought that Alec was gay, so I was surprised by that. I thought it was funny that the black dress that Isabelle let Clary use was actually a shirt on Isabelle. I thought it was amusing how Simon was surprised by what Clary was wearing. I'm interested to see what happens at the party.
