The Chamber of Secrets was first opened in the 1942-1943 school year by Tom Marvolo Riddle, a 16 year old who would later become Lord Voldemort and the last living descendant of Salazar Slytherin. After the Basilisk within the chamber killed Moaning Myrtle, Armando Dippet, the then headmaster of Hogwarts, was considering closing the school. When Tom Riddle discovered this, he feared he would have to return to the Muggle orphanage he had grown up in and decided to frame Rubeus Hagrid for opening the Chamber. Voldemort then created a Horcrux out of a diary in order to preserve his 16 year old self, so that one day, the fragment of soul sealed within the Horcrux could open the chamber again and finish what Tom had started. The Chamber could only be opened by someone who spoke Parseltongue and the Basilisk could only be controlled by the heir of Salazar Slytherin. The Chamber was opened again in Harry's second year at Hogwarts in the 1992-1993 school year.
