Once when she was able to sneak into an empty house, she'd been so careful keeping her presence a secret that the home was actually burgled while she was trying to sleep. Thankfully, her instincts kicked in and she was able to get out of the house before she was spotted by the criminals, but it had been a near miss. Knowing that they would assume the items were taken in the heist, Hermione had the presence of mind to slip a few valuables she could easily sell inside her pockets on the way out. The burglars were responsible for giving her enough money to eat for the next couple of weeks. Small favors.
