"Right," Ford agreed with a nod. That wasn't exactly what he'd been trying to convey, but it was close enough. He didn't recognize the spell, which meant it was probably weird, right? Then again, it wasn't as though Ford knew very many spells intended to be performed on other people, so he didn't have much to compare it to. He didn't do that in work, and it had been seven years since he'd last been in a charms classroom, so even if it was covered in the Hogwarts curriculum he might not have put it all together.
"So I can't talk about it," he concluded, with a vague shrug. "Last time I tried my mouth went all —" rather than finding an appropriate word for a descriptor he made another gesture, waving his hand dismissively near his mouth and sticking his tongue out briefly: blegh. Having done this, he took another sip of coffee. "And that's all I know about it. If it's doing anything else, I mean, I haven't figured it out yet."
He probably should have sounded more concerned about this than he did, having unknown spells and unknown potions impacting his day-to-day life, but it was hard to muster the appropriate sense of dread to infuse into his tone. Particularly since this really hadn't been an issue for him, for the most part, and he'd just come off of a whole evening spent thinking about Cash Lestrange and his dementor-generating abilities. This seemed fairly trivial by comparison.
