hung back to talk to one another

The rest of the team hung back to talk to one another as usual at the end of practice, but Harry headed straight back to the Gryffindor common room, where he found Ron and Hermione playing chess.

What’s the meaning of the yellow block?

Hang back means to deliberately fall behind the main group. In other words, they deliberately walked unhurriedly, or slower than the others, or behind the others, so they could talk amongst themselves in a relaxed manner.
