Hogwarts-Borgin and Burkes Vanishing Cabinet pair

A pair of Vanishing Cabinets formed a passage between Hogwarts Castle, the location of Hogwarts School and Borgin and Burkes, a dark magic shop in Knockturn Alley. The cabinets allowed objects placed in one cabinet to appear in the other. The passage was successfully used to transport several Death Eaters from Borgin and Burkes into Hogwarts School, hence commencing the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.

History
The Vanishing Cabinet 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 when he tried to take points away from them. Montague eventually 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 Requirement, it was likely the Vanishing Cabinet was destroyed, along with many other artefacts hidden there.
