As always, I like your Harry and Bob fics.
I like how they have a routine established. Harry is late. Bob scolds him. Harry says why he is late.
Poor Harry, not knowing that he blows stuff up by merely existing around electronics.
I liked your little note about the teacher with tears.
But very nice ending with Bob already figuring out how to deflect Justin's anger off of Harry. I can see him doing that quite a bit.
And great last line :)

I liked your little note about the teacher with tears.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

I love the 4:04, because it reminds of another of your stories where you show how time has taken a new meaning for Bob with Harry, and I just love that idea, that Harry means a break in Bobs eternal punishment...
The whole computer lab fizzling and exploding, poor Harry, but very funny picture for the reader! And I like it how you insert that ominous bits into the humor, with what could really mean if Harry did that on purpose and his 'Uncle Justin would kill me' but Bob knowing better! For me that always hugs an angst bunny its very nice! Also the reminder that being Bob under Justin must have been very nasty (Bob knew Morningway and his moods exceedingly well. If fault lay with anyone, it was with himself for having overlooked such an important aspect of Harry's magical ( ... )
