Re: Tom and the ring

I was under the impression that Tom Riddle used the death of his father for
his first horcrux but how can that be so when you read this from the
American Hardback page 369:

".....His right hand lay negligently upon the arm of his chair; with a jolt,
Harry saw that he was wearing Marvolo's gold-and-black ring; he had already
killed his father."

But then we find him asking Slughorn about how to make a horcrux... If Tom
Riddle didn't know how to make a horcrux when he killed his father then he
didn't make one with his fathers death... So, if the diary was made when
Tom was 16 then perhaps it was his first horcrux, but, whose death was used
to make it? And when did Tom make the ring a horcrux and then hide it?

Tom didn't ask Slughorn how to make a horcrux. He apparently already
knew how. He simply wanted Sluggy's comment on whether having 7
horcruxes was a great idea.
