- "Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before; a stricken lament of terrible beauty. [...] Harry felt, as he had felt about the Phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without ...

- — Fawkes's lament after Dumbledore's death[src]
The Phoenix Lament was a form of song expressed by phoenixes. Its tunes were known to touch the soul, in positive or negative ways. Its most powerful performances were known to be present when the phoenix suffered emotional instability or distress, such as the death of its master.[2] This song was reputed to increase the courage of the pure of heart, and to strike fear into the hearts of the impure.[1]
History
Fawkes, who sang the lament
When Albus Dumbledore died, his pet phoenix, Fawkes, sang a Phoenix Lament. It mesmerised all those gathered in the hospital wing: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Minerva McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. The Lament was broken when Minerva burst into the Hospital Wing, bringing all who were listening to it back to sense, and subsequently discussing the events that had transpired. After Fawkes fell silent, he left Hogwarts, only returning for his master's funeral and then departing, presumably forever.[2]
