Second read (August 26th 2013)[]

Online, on my computer.

Journal[]

Something linked to it in a discussion at r/HPMOR on the 25th of August 2013 and I thought it was a story I hadn't read yet. On looking it up here I realised I had, but I read it anyway and didn't remember any of it. Weird, really, cute I guess but not that compelling.
