va32h here:

You mean the Vanishing Cabinet? It's already at Hogwarts. Nearly 
Headless Nick broke it way back in Chamber of Secrets, and Filch just 
stuck it in some storeroom where, presumably, it sat until Fred and 
George stuffed Montague into it. Draco would have only needed to move 
it from its location within Hogwarts to the RoR. And in fact - it may 
have already *been* in the RoR, in that room's capacity as "a place 
to hide things". Certainly when the castle was being prepped for the 
Tri-Wizard Tournament, Filch would have wanted to hide any broken or 
damaged objects from the guest schools. 

The other cabinet either stayed at Bourgin and Burkes or was moved to 
some location outside of Hogwarts, where the DEs could access it.
