Ron shook his head but didn't reply, his gaze was now on something behind her. Hermione followed his line of sight until she saw it, a group of three ginger haired boys all watching him, she guessed it was the rest of his family. Deciding she should probably leave Ron alone until after the sorting due to the fact he was clearly dealing with some personal issues since Hermione didn't know him particularly well and because of her habit of not noticing boundaries until she had crossed them. She probably wasn't the person he wanted to talk about them with. Instead she was focusing on what was happening in front of her. Professor McGonagall now stood up in front of the first years, behind her was the rest of the staff, an old collection of teachers who Hermione couldn't wait to pick the brains off.
