What to do when joined by someone in congregation when praying non-obligatory prayer alone?

Salam,

I went to the musalla at school and prayed zuhr alone, and began to pray maghrib qada (I missed yesterday) when I was joined by a brother who tapped on my shoulder and wished to pray in congregation.

The plan was to pray my qada like normal and tell him I had already prayed the fard after, but 1 brother suddenly became 4 brothers and I panicked. I sort of abandoned my qada and led them in regular zuhr prayer, so as to not ruin their salah, because I didn't know what else to do.

This is my fault because I was praying in the middle of the musalla (it was empty), when I should have been praying any extra prayers off to the side to avoid confusion.

If anyone knows what to do in a situation like this should it happen again it would be grealty appreciated. I plan to ask a sheikh when I get a hold of one, but in the meantime thought i'd ask here. I am following Hanafi fiqh, but am open to learning about other madhab positions.

Jazakallah.
