I regret to hear that about the Malfoy boy. But I'm glad to hear you recognise the lack in his character and will aspire to have less of those same characteristics. It is a sensible match for her. Perhaps you should encourage your cousin to act as a stabilising force in their marriage. The Malfoys are a good pureblood family even if their current heir leaves something to be desired.
If you have the opportunity, and perhaps inclination, you should look into creating as many connections as you can. Even below your own status. Sometimes talent is more desirable than family name. With reason, however, as you might understand. I doubt that the Malfoys associate with rubble or blood traitors but keep your eyes open.
It might not be quite the time for you to settle down just yet but it doesn't hurt to look around. If she would be agreeable, you should take the opportunity to have her introduce you to the Greengrasses at least. I will make necessary inquiries if someone happens to catch your eye.
Sincerely, your father, Orion Black
