Detailed explanation-1: -Harry found Tom Riddle’s diary with Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets.

Detailed explanation-2: -The diary was originally purchased from a Muggle shop on Vauxhall Road in London. Considering Draco Malfoy’s reaction to finding the diary with Harry, Lucius apparently never showed the book to his son. This Horcrux revealed to Harry Potter that Lord Voldemort was once Tom Riddle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Harry followed the voices through the Hogwarts corridors until he came upon the second floor girls’ lavatory. It was here that he discovered the water-logged diary, which Ginny had discarded when she suspected that it was she who had petrified the Muggle-borns and finally realised that the diary was the cause.

Detailed explanation-4: -The diary was made into a Horcrux in 1943, during Riddle’s sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was the first Horcrux he ever made and was used as a weapon. Before Lord Voldemort’s first defeat in 1981 the diary was passed to Death Eater Lucius Malfoy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lucius Malfoy is the man responsible for getting Tom Riddle’s diary into Hogwarts-and into the hands of Ginny Weasley.
