A/N - Hey, guys, how was your weekend? Well, I took five minutes out of my work hours to edit this and get it on here. I have started carrying all my fanfiction on my mp3 player so when I can, I am able to update or just write some. Pretty clever, I think. Haha, anyway here is the second chapter. It isnt much, just Hermione thinking and such.

Collisions
Once she made it safely to the library, without Cho in sight, Hermione drops her handful of books on an empty table in the corner and ignores the lot of it as it teeters dangerously from being stacked so high. That was really a coincidence, she can't help but think. But Hermione doesn't believe in coinicidences, in her book everything happens for a reason. Hermione very much liked thinking that way, within reason. Unfortunately the past few weeks she's been stepping more and more out of her way of analyzing everything. Her feelings for Cho had absolutely nothing of reason to them, and she's tired endless nights on trying to figure out what it could all mean. She thinks back to the last twenty minutes of her day, to her unexpected and non helpful encounter with Cho. It must mean something, she argues with herself, but what? Maybe it was an eye opener...Maybe it was meant to tell me how many close shaves I have already gotten with the Ravenclaw girl. And that it needs to stop.
Only, Hermione isn't sure she wants it to stop. She's never felt like this before, for anyone. And while she's probably had less experience than Ron in relationships, that's still saying something. Hermione was always too concerned with her studies to notice the people around her. Boys or girls. She never really fit in anywhere until her first day at Hogwarts five years ago. Only then did she ever begin making friends, starting with Harry and Ron, both of whom she loves dearly. And to hurt Harry with something as foolish as this, as foolish as actually having feelings for his current girlfriend, his girlfriend for the past year she should add, that really doesn't say much about her loyalty to her friends.
It's got to stop. No matter how I feel...I'll just have to avoid her, she decides sadly, focus on my studies more. It shouldn't be so hard...But she knows better, it's going to be painfully difficult to keep away from the Ravenclaw, but she's determined to get over this. She can't keep feeling like she feels for Harry's girlfriend, it's not right. Hermione just hopes that what she's decided to do is the right thing, because as confused and hurt as she is, she sure can't think of any other option. And it's really going to prove difficult to come up with excuses to miss out on any gatherings Harry plans with Cho and Ron, always inviting Hermione along. As that's what friends do, spend time together, have some laughs. They certainly do not secretly develope emotions deeper than friendship for each other's partner. Sighing at how awful that really sounds, Hermione decides to clear her mind of it and hit the books. She rummages through the pile quickly glancing at each title for one in particular. When she finds it to be missing, she groans softly. Cho must have it, she realizes, which means...which means I must see her face to face one more time before putting all of this behind me...
A/N - Well, we all know one thing. Hermione will not put this behind her at all. Why? Because I wont let her. =)
