They go into Magnus' party. The people are weird looking in there, green hair, different teeth, such as shark-looking. Simon and Isabelle are dancing. A vampire comes up and says that his bike was ruined. The vampire is told to leave by Magnus. Alec tells Magnus they ruined his bike with holy water, Magnus figured. They say they want to have a word with Magnus in private, and it will be kept confidential. Magnus agrees, Clary tells him how her parents are both gone, and her mother was of the Clave. Jace tells him they found his name in her mind. Magnus says he was the one to clear her mind, her mother told him to. Her mother had come to him and asked him if he could make not see the Shadow World. They had to come back every two years to restrengthen it, and she was actually due for another appointment recently. The spell would be dangerous to reverse, it'll wear off eventually. Magnus had a difficult childhood too, different doesn't make things better. He has her study a rune, things she would've learned if she was brought up the other way, as a Shadowhunter. Runes might help to bring back memories. Magnus says there wasn't anything in her memory about a mortal cup, thinks Valentine is out for revenge and he won't get in his way. Simon turned into a rat. Clary gets furious at Isabelle and finds Simon, he will turn back on his own in a couple of hours.

I think that this book is getting interesting. I thought it was interesting how the vampire got all worked up about his bike and was forced to leave. I thought it was funny how Alec just came out and said they did it to Magnus. I really thought Magnus was going to help Clary, and he sort of did, but didn't at the same time. He gave her help to maybe help trigger her memories. He also refused to help look for the cup though, which is what they were mainly looking for. I was very, very suprised that Clary flipped on Isabelle. I never thought she would actually do that, although I knew she had hard feelings toward Isabelle for getting close to Simon. I thought it was funny that Simon turned into a rat. Out of all creatures he became a rat. It's good that he will turn back to his normal self, or as normal as he can be after that, soon. I'm enjoying this book and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.
