This is my take on what happens:

"The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a 
drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive...  
The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on 
his back in a flowerbed outside number four."


Here we go:

Harry was watching the clouds as they slowly crossed the sky. He 
noticed a cloud that, at first, resembled a chicken. The longer he 
looked at it, the more it looked like Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore's 
pet phoenix. 
"How odd," Harry quipped. 
Suddenly the wind began to blow and all the clouds dispersed except 
the one shaped like Fawkes. Harry looked around thinking this has to 
be the work of a witch or wizard, because the cloud seemed to be 
coming closer.  Oddly enough it also started to change form, from a 
cloud to an actual Phoenix. It came down and perched on top of the 
mailbox of number four. Harry realized it really was Fawkes. There 
was no one else in sight and Harry noticed a rolled parchment tightly 
grasped between Fawkes' talons. He got up and went to grab the 
letter. 
"How completely curious," he thought. "Are the owls at Hogwarts 
on vacation?" Harry said to the magical bird. Fawkes looked at him, 
as if he wished he could answer. Harry took the letter, unrolled it, 
and started to read it.

       Harry, there are many things I must tell you, but first we 
must go somewhere  else, you are no longer safe here, with your Aunt 
and Uncle.

It seemed strange; Harry could actually hear Professor Dumbledore's 
voice as he read the words. He looked up to see if Fawkes was still 
there, but to his surprise Professor Dumbledore was sitting on the 
mailbox instead. 
"How did you..? Where did you...?" Harry stammered as he tried to 
sort out the questions. 
"There is no time for questions Harry, we must go. As soon as you are 
safe, I will tell you everything," said Professor Dumbledore. "You 
will finally know everything you want and need to know."
Professor Dumbledore put his hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry blinked 
and when he opened his eyes, they were no longer on Privet Drive.


My 6 yr. old son gave me the very first line, and I went on from 
there. IMHO  We did a pretty good job. Even if it's not what really 
happens, I guess it would make good fanfic. 

Thank you for reading.

the suspense.)
