Tom Riddle's Award for Special Services to the School

No: HPFGUIDX 134643

Ron had detention [in GOF] and his punishment was  to help Filch 
polish the items in the trophy cases without magic.

He had to clean Riddle's award more than once, because he was still 
barfing up the occasional slug and he got slug slime all over it.

Thus, when Harry got hold of the diary [after Ginny tried to dispose 
of it [by flushing] in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, Ron was able to 
recall Tom Riddle's name [which was the only thing which could be 
seen in writing on the diary, other than the year].

Again, as for the Award being the remaining 'mystery Horcrux', it is 
of course possible; but when would it have been made so?  For the 
award came after Hagrid was framed and expelled [for supposedly 
opening the Chamber of Secrets, with Aragog the supposed 'monster'].

The diary had been made .... with Moaning Myrtle's death the required 
soul-splitter [????] .... the award comes later .... so whose was the 
second death {required}?

I don't recall Myrtle's supposed House affiliation, but she was 
Muggle-born, that was mentioned; remember, the tale of the Chamber of 
Secrets was that Slythern left the Chamber with the Monster 
{basilisk} to be released {by his true heir} to "cleanse the school 
of those who were unworthy {in Slythern's view} to study magic there" 
{McGonagall, in the movie version} .... Muggle-borns. And she 
wouldn't have been a parsel-tounge or she would have understood Tom's 
speech which opened the Chamber; she didn't; only that it was a male 
voice she heard ....
