Hermione considered herself to be a tolerant person. She had been known to take a spider outside rather than squish it, let Harry and Ron copy her homework when she sincerely did not want them to, and even house sat for Mrs. Next Door’s bird, though she truly hated  birds. This felt like one of those times, trapping the spider under the jar and bringing it to a leaf outside, even though it was invading  her  house,  her  space.
