we all go to the institute me only being allowed into the trial room as a whitness so im stuck sitting next to alec who is figitting like mad.

i look around. guard thingys stood around the edge of the room.

one of the silent brothers at the front.a women sat on a throne at the front of the room.

magnus stood at the front. izzy sat at a table at the front to.

another table on the other side with lydia sat at it. 

"Will I survive if I touch it?"maguns asks looking at the sword hoving infront of him.

i hold in giggle seeing his slightly alarmed face.

"If you tell the truth."the women on the throne says making magnus nod. 

magnus wraps both hands around the end of the sword as the silent brother starts to speak.

"By the power of this sword, do you swear to defend your client with integrity and honesty?"he questions looking at magnus.

"No argument from me on that"magnus speaks looking down at the sowrd as it glows.

"Make your case, warlock."the women on the throne speaks.

magnus lets go of the sword so the silent brother takes it before going off to the side,

"My case is simple." magnus speaks turing around to look at the women on the chair"It is true that Isabelle Lightwood acted against the orders of the Clave by trying to free the Seelie, Meliorn. But she did not act against the interests of the Clave." magnus speaks looking up at the woemn very seriosuly." Preventing the forced questioning and possible death of a Seelie may have saved the Accords." he explains to the women.

"We're not here to speculate what might have happened if the defendant hadn't interfered." the women speaks harshly looking down at magnus.

"You mean what might have happened if she hadn't stopped the Silent Brothers from torturing a Seelie?" magnus says linking his hands togteher in his front.

"I await a valid argument. Do you have one?" the women speaks egtting frustated shifting in her seat.

"What you really want is the Mortal Cup. My client doesn't have it. Since this whole proceeding isn't about what it's really about, I move to have this case dismissed." magnus speaks amking me look at him with my eyes wide.

"You're out of order." the women speaks looking down at magnus angrily.

"No. This whole thing is out of order. It's not Isabelle's fault. It's the Cup! Put the Cup on trial!" magnus speaks angrily poitning at  the woemn before he goes and sits back down next to izzy.



izzy stands and moves to sit in the stand magnus glances back making eye contact with me making em smile sadly.

lydia rises to her feet before walking out from the desk.

" You have led us to believe that you alone carried out this operation. But Clary Fairchild was seen near the City of Bones that night." lydia  tells izzy walking slowly towards her

"Maybe she was out for a walk." izzy speaks calmly looking at lydia

"And you expect us to believe that you distracted the guards, and escaped with the prisoner on your own?" lydia asks crossing her arms looking at izzy,

" Pretty slick, right?"izzy says turning her head to look at the women in the throne

"I suggest you think about how slick it would be when Valentine uses the Mortal Cup to raise an army of rogue Shadowhunters."the women speaks harshly leaning over her chair so she can hiss at izzy.
