I'm not absolutely positive about this, but I THINK that Nearly 
Headless Nick persuaded Peeves to smash the Vanishing Cabinet over 
Filch's office to distract him, so that Harry wouldn't get into 
trouble.  I can't remember which book it was in, but Harry had just 
come in dripping mud after a Quidditch practice.  I can't remember 
any more than that.
