One autumn's day, a Muggle single mother of six was cruelly murdered by a moralizing hypocrite when his practical joke backfired.

The victim's eldest daughter, a witch laid a curse on the youngest daughter of the moralizer, spoken in these words:

"Your child, I curse her! Your daughter, I curse her! Your babe in arms, I curse her! Her face shall reflect her soul, she will bear the face of a toad. She will be your burden, she will be your shame. She will bring you nothing but resentment, and give no gift to the world that welcomed her but destruction. All the pain and misery that I have suffered, she will deliver in suffering to the world hundredfold. Every tear that I and my brothers and sisters have shed, she will be pay back in the blood of innocent children. She will hunger not for bread of life but the food of evil, she will hunger for power and be never sated.

And henceforth her name, will be Dolores Jane Umbridge."
