Make Image overlay clickable to link to another page

Question

jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/e0u4sow1/

I want to use the following code for an image to link to another page. Right now if I make it a link it doesn't work. I read somewhere I need to add

pointer-events: none;

somewhere in the code. It tried, but it either doesn't work or it works but removes the overlay.

HTML:

<h1>MR Cube</h1>
<div class="media"></div>
<div class="media"><a href="http://www.google.nl/"><img alt="" class="media__image" src="http://www.webwinkelsucces.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/1112625-les-outils-de-test-et-d-integration-continue-open-source.jpg" /></a>
<div class="media__body">
<h1>Lees meer</h1>
</div>
</div>

CSS:

.media {
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: top;
}

.media__image { display: block; }

.media__body {
  background: rgba(41, 128, 185, 0.7);
  bottom: 0;
  color: white;
  font-size: 1em;
  left: 0;
  opacity: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 3.75em 3em;
  position: absolute;
  text-align: center;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  -webkit-transition: 0.6s;
  transition: 0.6s;
}

.media__body:hover { opacity: 1; }

.media__body:after,
.media__body:before {
  border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
  bottom: 1em;
  content: '';
  left: 1em;
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  right: 1em;
  top: 1em;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
  -ms-transform: scale(1.5);
  transform: scale(1.5);
  -webkit-transition: 0.6s 0.2s;
  transition: 0.6s 0.2s;
}

.media__body:before {
  border-bottom: none;
  border-top: none;
  left: 2em;
  right: 2em;
}

.media__body:after {
  border-left: none;
  border-right: none;
  bottom: 2em;
  top: 2em;
}

.media__body:hover:after,
.media__body:hover:before {
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  -ms-transform: scale(1);
  transform: scale(1);
  opacity: 1;
}

.media__body h2 { margin-top: 0; }

.media__body p { margin-bottom: 1.5em; }
