Here is one better.  You're right it might happen over the summer, 
but instead of her asking him over to do chores, it will be on the 
one day a year he always goes to Mrs. Figg's house... Dudley's 
birthday.  The Durley's will get rid of him on that day, as usual 
(except for the glorius day he released the boa at the zoo), and he 
will drag his feet, not looking forward to the smell of cabbage and 
looking at pictures of all of her cats.  The door opens, and sitting 
behind her are Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Professor Dumbledore!  
How's that for an opening?

Just another thought.
