In the first book, at Christmas, Harry is given an invisibility cloak. There is a note telling him it was his father's, but no indication of who gave it to him. Upon finding that it is in fact an invisibility cloak, Harry is desperate to test it out and goes on a scout through the castle.

He goes to the library, but makes so much noise that Filch comes along and scares Harry. Harry has to run in order to avoid being noticed. He runs around a corner and runs almost right into Snape (who can't see him because he's wearing the cloak) Filch comes wheezing after him and Harry has to sneakily go into a room to avoid being noticed.

In this room, is the mirror.
