Magnus had expected to go to the party alone. That Isabelle was throwing a party heartened him enough to attend, hopeful that at least one Lightwood was coming to grips with the tragic news they had been subjected to. He wanted to support Izzy in that, and if attending a party was what was required, then so be it.
Plus there was Billy and all who he very much liked and cared about and would defend with his last breath and whatever. The birthday boy was important, too.
The surprise over and done, Magnus mingled here and there, sipping at a drink that was most definitely not on offer at the buffet of food, and generally tried to have a good time. And not get drunk. That last one was the hard part.
