To whom does this room belong?

Answer: (One Word - last name only)
4. After not being able to get to sleep, you wander the corridors, an invisibility cloak draped over you. You hear the groans of Filch behind and so you dive aimlessly into the nearest room. You turn around and find yourself, a broomstick in one hand and the Quidditch World Cup grasped in the other, reflected in a huge mirror with a golden frame. You leave this room soon after and run back to your dormitory. You awake in the morning and wonder to yourself where that mirror had been located. Where was it again? Hint

Hufflepuff's

7. Now that you're on your way you remember that your watch is fast and work out that you still have ten minutes to spare. You slow down and take a look around as you walk. Some of the paintings catch your eye and you become entranced by one of a young girl, about your age, who is smiling at you. While doing so you wander into a corridor you have never seen before. Quickly, you have to remember where Snape's classroom is located or you will be in deep trouble! Hint

In the attic
On the second floor
