Adi:
  I think he was gone to make sure that Sirius was alive and 
Dumbledore was wrong. But when he finds out that Sirius was in fact 
dead, he would be anguished.
 As for what happens next, I think he would make others realise the 
tragedy, even Sirius's mom. The portraits will then collectively 
punish Kreacher. There will be a change of heart and the Order will 
be welcomed into the house without grumbling and the house will stop 
fighting against the Order. And finally, Phineas will join forces 
with Harry to help him with dark arts. After all, he had been the 
headmaster of Slytherin! How about it?
