Darla Dearborn's first wand

The wand belonging to Darla Dearborn is made of hawthorn wood imbued with a core of nogtail hair.
The wand was purchased by Dearborn at Hoargrim's Wands and Alchemical Supplies from Mr. Finsterholz, who claimed that the pairing was an unusual combination with an unpopular core that was very good for hexing and jinxing.
Constance Pritchard claimed that the wand would also be good for Dark magic.
In the Fall of 2008, Dearborn attempted to cast a Killing Curse at Alexandra Quick with the wand; due to her inexperience with Dark magic, the Dearborn did little more than produce the curse's characteristic green light. In May of 2009, Dearborn used the wand to torture Quick in one of the Charmbridge Academy's sub-basements, but again, her inexperience with Unforgivable Curses severely dulled the effects of the spell.
In the Fall of 2009, Dearborn's wand was fitted with a Wand Collar as a condition of her return to Charmbridge. The wand was kept in the possession of Vice-Dean Cervantes, who turned it over to Dearborn in the morning for classwork and collected it in the afternoon after Darla's studies were finished. Dearborn also surreptitiously aquired another wand that year.
