That's not the point, though she also can't argue against it. She's not afraid of being caught. At worst, Magnus would probably just be pleasantly surprised to see her, knowing what he does of her own experiences with magic.
And it's not the magic that puts her off, either. It's just that grand parties have always been things she imagined attending. In her imagination, she can't wear the wrong thing or fumble the dance steps or otherwise make a fool of herself, revealing to all and sundry that she's a--a peasant with no actual business in such a setting. In her imagination, it can't all go wrong.
She really, desperately doesn't want things to go wrong with Thomas.
And his comment about wanting to 'have someone to share that with' is so charming it's almost infuriating. How is anyone supposed to say no to that?
"I have nothing to wear," she objects, but it's clear from both her tone and her expression that she's faltering.
