Coraline's serious, worried face broke into a smile at the comment about Hermione Granger. No matter what Claire said magic would always be well, magical where as science was just something Coraline liked and was curious about.

"But it wasn't. Next time, start smaller or tell someone like me so you don't get hurt." Coraline said. "So, your powers don't work here? I guess, it's good we know that now but don't do something like that again Claire or I'll get very, very cross."

Coraline placed her hand close to Claire's not wanting to hurt her. "Nothing works from home either. Cat doesn't talk, I can't see the dead children anymore and I can't see the truth through the stones. But I don't mind because well, that means the bad things can't work here too. You know?"
