She doesn't expect company, but true to form, she's sat down as soon as she heard footsteps coming her way and brought her assortment of pillow covers and shirts out in her lap to mend.
Is she mending them by needle and thread? No, for the most part she finds herself a secluded room and reparos every one with magic, because she's not going to actually play along. It's a cover, honestly.
So, when the shirt gets dropped in her lap, outside, by someone wearing a talisman, she thinks ah, one of the travellers, like me. And mends the tear with magic, without even thinking it.
Some wizards that taught Hermione before used to say that the more you do a spell, the less you end up needing your wand or even the verbal spell for it. There are a few things she can do wandlessly by now: light the way, mend broken things, unlock doors. The shirt mends itself easily enough, and she holds it out before noticing the stain.
"You might need to scrub that a little with soap."
