Vanishing Cabinet

A pair of Vanishing Cabinets will act as a passage between two places. Objects placed in one cabinet will appear in the other. The cabinets seem to ward off all known defensive spells, as they were successfully used to transport several Death Eaters from Borgin and Burkes into Hogwarts School. If one cabinet is broken, a transferred object moves to a kind of limbo. Vanishing Cabinets were highly popular during the First Wizarding War; in the event of a Death Eater attack, one could simply disappear to the other cabinet until the danger had passed.

History
The Vanishing Cabinet at Hogwarts was obviously not known for the danger it represented, as neither the headmaster nor the caretaker removed it from the premises. Though they knew it was a Vanishing Cabinet, no one seemed to know it was linked to a second cabinet in the shop of Borgin and Burkes. Peeves damaged this Cabinet in 1992 when he was persuaded by Nearly Headless Nick to drop it in a classroom right above Filch's office to get Harry out of trouble with Filch. In 1996, Fred and George Weasley shoved Graham Montague headfirst into the Cabinet on the first floor of Hogwarts. Montague escaped (by Apparating) and was found in a toilet's u-bend by Draco Malfoy, who summoned Professor Snape for help. Montague revealed the previously unknown powers of the Cabinets to Draco. Draco then realised its usefulness. The Hogwarts Vanishing Cabinet was later moved to the Room of Requirement and in 1997 Draco Malfoy repaired it to allow a group of Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts from the Borgin & Burkes Vanishing Cabinet, in order to accomplish his plot to assassinate Albus Dumbledore.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, when Vincent Crabbe released Fiendfyre in the Room of Requirements, it was likely the Vanishing Cabinet was destroyed, along with many other artifacts hidden there.

Spell
The activation spell for the Vanishing Cabinet is Harmonia Nectere Passus.
