Did Voldemort kill Moaning Myrtle or did she die from looking at the
basilisk?
==========================

Jeremiah:
I had to read all of the Myrtle stuff carefully. What I understand is this:
Tom Riddle opened the Chamber of Secrets in his 5th year. Diary!Riddle says
that he spent 5 years trying to find the chamber. That was when Myrtle dies
and she says all she saw was a piar of big yellow eyes... and that is the
exact description of a Basalisk as mentioned in Fantastic Beasts. (One of
the little books that came out from JKR).
It wasn't until the following year that he asks Slughorn about how Horcruxes
are made. Then the following summer he makes one. It's like: basalist @ age
15 then the question about Horcruxes then he turns 16 and then he makes the
first Horcrux.

It goes something like that. I mapped it out once and I think I still have
it somewhere. Any way, each event barely misses each other and I'm sure it
was deliberate.

I think LV made his first Horcrux with his Father's murder. It would be most
appropriate, seeing as how he killed his father and his father's family the
same summer he made his first horcrux.

That's the way I understand it. (And I'll look for that timeline and see if
anyone has things ot add or change. That would be cool).
