Bump into this girl that's on my floor
She just wants to see what would it be like to hold hands with someone dark
Who would have known you don't need a wand to start a spark"

What has already happened before we begin/ Important to know:
1) Tom creates a new name for himself, rearranging the letters of his name to spell, "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT". He uses the name among his most intimate friends at Hogwarts and wanted it, one day, to be a name wizards will fear to speak
"As he moved up the school, he gathered about him a group of dedicated friends; I call them that, for want of a better term, although as I have already indicated, Riddle undoubtedly felt no affection for any of them. This group had a kind of dark glamour within the castle. They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty. In other words, they were the forerunners of the Death Eaters, and indeed some of them became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts." (17.116)
2)Tom opens the Chamber of Secrets and releases the basilisk into the school. Several students are injured and one (Myrtle) is killed.
3)Professor Dumbledore is teaching Transfigurations.
4)Professor Dippet is Headmaster
5) Horace Slughorn teaches Potions and has already reveled to Tom about Horcruxes
