If 8D were Shadowhunters....

Chapter 5 - Breakfast?

The next morning Alec walked into the institute kitchen to find, Hermione sitting at the breakfast bar with a mug of coffee and Jace frying bacon and eggs.

Alec set about making a bowl of rice crispies.

Ten minutes later. Most of the gang were in the kitchen. Caitlin was making French toast and Hermione and Jace were sitting at the table eating bacon, eggs and toast. Suddenly, Jace asked Hermione,

"How old are you?"

Hermione mumbled "Seventeen" and everybody in the room fell silent and layla who had just walked in, dropped the glass she was holding. Everybody stared at Hermione.

"What?" she said.

"You haven't spoken in days," said layla, awestruck.

"So," Hermione muttered and went back to her breakfast.

"You haven't spoken since Liz died" Caitlin said, "and you don't expect us to be surprised?"

"Your toast is burning" Hermione said and finished her breakfast. Everyone resumed what they were doing but nobody said a word.

Amara and Zahra waked in taking in the silent kitchen (silence was extremely rare when it comes to the 8D gang,) and Amara asked

"Did we miss something?" everybody, abruptly brought back to their senses, started talking again and Caitlin whispered to them what had happened in their absence.

"I never knew I had a sister," said Jace still trying to make a conversation with Hermione.

"And I did not know I had a brother either," she said in an English accent (which was the accent she usually spoke in, but the others had started picking up a slight American accent.)

Isabelle slid into the chair next to Jace and said

"Guys, was it just me, or did you hear loud pop music at like midnight last night, Despacito to be precise?"

"yeah, that was those idiots over there," said Hermione gesturing at Caitlin, Amara and Zahra who were feeding each other bits of burned French toast and then bursting into fits of hysterical giggling. Hermione shook her head exasperated and almost amazed at the same time that some people could be so stupid.

Hermione and Jace got up muttering something about video games and walked off. Layla slid into the chair opposite Isabelle and they both started chatting.

An hour later, Maddie, Sally and Frankie were walking down the corridor. The door to Hermione's room was slightly ajar and then all of a sudden, there was an unexpected yell of "die you stupid imbecile!"

Naturally, the three girls who never usually took it upon themselves to walk past Hermione's room, felt obliged to see what was going on

The three girls poked their heads round the door and saw Hermione and Jace completely engrossed in a video game.

"PIG!" shouted Jace and the girls couldn't help but burst out laughing. The two Herondale half-siblings snapped their heads towards where the laughter came from and when they realised what it was, Hermione glared visibly annoyed from being disturbed from their video game.

"What do you want," asked Hermione sounding slightly menacing.

"We just wanted to see what was going on because we heard you yell all of a sudden from down the corridor," explained Maddie with lots of hand gestures (for Maddie loves using her hands when expressing things)

"Well get lost!" shouted Hermione "You are disturbing us!" and with that, the three girls squealed and ran off giggling to angel knows where.
