She wants to talk about what really happened and how he was actually defeated.
McGonagall says he's the only one who can say that, because Voldemort's only ever been scared by Dumbledore. Dumbledore eats lemon drops and says they should call You-Know-Who by his real name, Voldemort. 
They talk about how the Muggles can't find out about them, before confirming that You-Know-Who is definitely out of the picture.
Dumbledore says it's been eleven years since they felt like this. She says that she was worried about how risky everyone was acting and that the Muggles might notice something. He asks her why she wasn't getting happy with the others. He knew it was her even when she was still a cat. Then he walks over to the cat, which has transformed into Professor McGonagall. He uses it to put out all the lights on the street. Dumbledore takes something out of his pocket, which looks like a cigarette lighter. Outside, the cat waits until almost midnight, when a thin old man in a cloak appears: Albus Dumbledore. He falls asleep thinking about how the Potters shouldn't bother them. As they're going to bed, he sees that cat outside again. Dursley asks his wife about the Potters, because he thinks they might be connected with all the weird happenings, but she hasn't heard from them. They hear on the news that the country is overcome with owls and that the sky is full of shooting stars. That evening, he and his wife act normally. When he gets home he sees that same cat outside his house. Dursley doesn't understand any of this, but it freaks him out all the same. The man tells him that You-Know-Who is gone and calls Dursley a Muggle. On his way out of the office that evening, he bumps into a man wearing a violet cloak. He almost calls his wife to talk about it, but then tries to convince himself that the cloak people probably weren't talking about his relatives. He overhears them talking about the Potters and gets really freaked out. 
During his lunch break, he ventures outside and sees a bunch of people in cloaks again.At work that day, he doesn't look out the window, so he doesn't see the massive groups of owls flying about, which would strike anyone else as unusual. He thinks it's weird, and puts his mind towards work. Dursley tries to forget about it, but then notices that there are people all around wearing cloaks.
Dursley leaves for work, he thinks he sees a cat reading a map, just for a second.
The narrator says that they don't realize how unusual this particular day is going to be – they don't see an owl fly past the window. Dursley's sister, and the Dursleys try to pretend the Potters don't exist. What they're hiding is the Potter family Mrs. However, we soon learn that the Dursleys are hiding something.
