Ron Weasley isn't a stranger to having to clean up his own messes. Most of the time he's, at the very least, part of the cause. Of course, he's not always the one who cleans it up either, but he'd like to say he does have a hand in it, too. He causes his own share of messes.
Seventh year while he, Harry, and Hermione were out searching for the Horcruxes, Ron left. He'd had enough of the traveling and dragging a piece of You-Know-Who's soul around his own neck. It wasn't easy on any of them, but Ron was done with it all.
For about five seconds until he realized he made one of the biggest mistakes of his blasted life.
After apparating, he did try to get back but with no luck. He was ambushed and didn't have the chance no matter how hard he wanted to get back to both Hermione and Harry. When he did finally get back, Hermione would barely look at him much less speak to him. Apologizing wasn't quite going to do the trick that time.
But when he mentioned something about helping house-elves and what might have happen to them because of the Death Eaters and then had his arms full of Hermione Granger, he was mostly certain he had successfully cleaned up that mess.
