The final repository was a storage unit made of goblin silver, buried deep within the Keepers' Caverns beneath Hogwarts Castle.

History

It was constructed by Bragbor the Boastful at the behest of Professor Isidora Morganach to contain the extracted pain from Hogwarts students. By the time of Isidora's death, it had become a vast store of ancient magic that if ever released, could threaten the wizarding world as a whole. To safeguard it against possibly corrupt influences, the Keepers kept it a secret from the rest of Hogwarts, burying it deep underneath the Map Chamber, where they would permit it to be discovered by an unidentified Hogwarts student centuries later. There was another repository beneath Rookwood Castle, but it was significantly smaller than the one in Keepers' Caverns.

The existence of the Repository became known to Ranrok, a goblin rebel and descendant of Bragbor, who worked with the criminal kingpin Victor Rookwood, after learning about its exact location in Bragbor's last journal. However, he had been aware of its existence long before, as he had depleted the Rookwood Castle repository and was hungry for more ancient magic.

Ranrok had amassed an army of Loyalists, and constructed large drills, with the hope of penetrating the rock foundation of Hogwarts and stealing the Repository's power for himself. Concurrently, the student was determined to prove themselves to the Keepers and show that they were worthy enough to defend it.

The Repository was ultimately destroyed in a battle conducted by Ranrok and his Loyalists in the 1890–1891 school year. Ranrok consumed the magic within and transformed into a dragon. He was eventually defeated by the student, who possibly reconstructed the Repository, or possibly ingested its power themselves.
