Guess I'll Just Begin Again

Seneca,

I hope you're well! Not to jump to the chase, but as you know: father is seeking a betrothed for me. As I did not get on well with my last betrothed, I was hoping to have a more positive relationship with this one. To that end, I was wondering if you had any classmates who you'd consider recommending?

Love,
 Cash

Dearest Cassius,

I am so pleased that you contacted me about it! After father's announcement, I had the horrible thought that you might be betrothed to Meta Lestrange and I don't think either of us would want that. She's like the male version of Kristoffer and we both know what a pain he can be.

I have just the girl for your needs, Cash! Miss Vesta Bones. I think that you will really like her. She's a member of the Gryffindor house and has reddish brown hair. I will not mention any names because I do not want to embarass you, but we both know which cousin you hold a torch for this is reminiscent of! Personality wise she is much more pleasant than Miss Prewett used to be (not to soil her memory). She's nice and quiet without being a mouse (otherwise we wouldn't be friends) and I do believe she has some artistic interests!

I see no reason why Papa might not approve of her. The Boneses are an established pureblooded family and she's related to the Longbottoms through her mother. She's also the youngest daughter, so it'd be acceptable for her to be matched to a second son. She also has four years of schooling left, plus any years she does at our aunt's school, which would give you roughly half a decade to quit Quidditch and use our family connections to become the Head of a lesser department at the Ministry.

With much love,

Seneca
