Your wand was made from a Black Thorn Tree.
This wand represents outside influence or belief in fate. Black Thorn wood is mysterious yet loyal, it values strong witches and wizards. Historians have studied Black Thorn yet we still know very little about it. From the information we've gathered so far, it can be concluded that these wands are only faithful to the witch or wizard they have chosen.
There are several known cases of rejection by these wands, particularly towards a new owner. This commonly occurs when the wand has been won in a duel. Unlike other wands, who reclaim a new owner when their previous one is disarmed, Black Thorn Wands never change their allegiance.
Signs of rejection include:
-Refusing to cast spells or doing so incorrectly.
-Dismissing their new owner by casting the wrong spell .
-Failing to produce counter spells
-Influencing the person to be more aggressive/irritable/unhappy
-Sabotaging potions, transfiguration attempts, or attacks on previous owner
-In one case found deep in the archives of a Spanish library, a witch named Nisassa Hurtado was using a stolen Black Thorn Wand to cast the memory charm "Rictumsempra" on the wand's previous owner. The wand refused and rebounded the spell back onto the person casting it.
