THE SCENE: Dumbledore's Office. In the corner is a decrepit Phoenix. 
Waiting alone, HARRY can't resist trying on the Sorting Hat again

HARRY
Once I wore the Sorting Hat
My head, it went upon it
I try it on now another time
It put this bee in my bonnet

SORTING HAT
Hat says to Harry, I know your Sort
I tell you Slyth'rin should be your first resort
You'd best Malfoy, you'd fill Snape's heart with joy, joy, joy
If you signed up with the Slyth'rin crew

(Fawkes the Phoenix ignites in a fiery blaze and dissolves)

HARRY (shocked)
I think this place is weird.
That bird in flames just disappeared!

SORTING HAT
But there's one more thing I gotta say

Hat says to Harry, I may be mental
But you shouldn't be super kind and gentle
You'd reach your dreams if you'd to learn to scheme scheme scheme
This ol' Hat gives good advice to you

(HARRY puts the HAT aside with considerable alarm)

HARRY
Hat off, says Harry, it gives me chills

(Enter DUMBLEDORE, unaware of HARRY's conversation with the Hat. He 
is pleased to see that Fawkes rebirthing has commenced)

DUMBLEDORE
My poor old Phoenix bird, he's been so very ill
In ashes lies, but pretty soon he'll rise rise rise

(HARRY sees the fledging Fawkes rising from the ashes)

ALL (including HAT)
Phoenixes don't say goodbye to you
To you

..
To you
