Asteroid Hermes, like most space bodies, started with a super nova. That's a really big explosion. The super nova left a big cloud of gas and dust. This cloud slowly collected and fused together to form small objects. These objects did not accrete (collide with each other) because of Mars' and Jupiter's gravity.
