"It's a very interesting spell."
"It's not something that's taught in the Hogwarts curriculum for students of your age."
"But I think it's very necessary for you to learn." With that, Lupin deftly dodged Peeves.
Upon hearing the keywords "their grade" and "Hogwarts doesn't teach," some of the inattentive students immediately perked up.
Harry obediently raised his hand. "What's so funny about it?"
Lupin winked at Harry. "The interesting thing about the Enhanced Senses Charm is that as you get more proficient with it, it will reveal more of its abilities to you."
"Skills?" Ron chimed in, joining in the banter.
"It is more proactive than other spells, closely integrated with the wizard's mind and body, and is more of a way of exercising the senses than a spell."
"When you're just starting out, using this will give you a 360-degree view."
"That is, you can see everything up, down, left, right, front, and back."
"As you get used to it, you will then find that everything in your field of vision seems to slow down, as if it has stopped."
"At this stage, you can only deal with sudden sneak attacks and gain the upper hand in the duel."
"But for Magical Creature with incredible speed, your body's reaction is still relatively slow compared to your vision."
"Then comes the final stage. When you use it as skillfully as breathing, you will find that your own nerve reflexes will slowly increase, gradually exceeding the limits of the human body."
"Sir, what stage have you reached?" Ravenclaw's Terry Boot was very excited, as if a thirty-year-old great wizard and his white moonlight had just ended their virginity.
Lupin touched his nose. "Phase two."
"So," he said with a helpless expression, dodging Peeves's sneak attack once again, "Could you please stop targeting me?"
"In my eyes, the peanuts you throw are as slow as a snail crawling."
"Don't forget, you're a teaching assistant today."
"So," Peeves' broad face broke into a wicked smile, "These little brats are my target today?"
"They used that damn Enhanced Senses Charm you taught them to evade?"
He excitedly spun around in mid-air, rubbing his hands together like a fly, "You'd better hurry, I can't wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he began pulling out one 'weapon' after another from his tuxedo.
Moldy peanuts, bread, Slingshot, projectile, bow and arrow, boomerang.
They all hovered in mid-air, and Peeves's sturdy little hands stroked them one by one, as if he were playing the piano.
All the students looked at Lupin with eager eyes.
In Britain, Quidditch is popular, they immediately figured out how to use this spell.
Furthermore, they didn't want to get their faces covered in rotten, smelly food.
However, Basil just yawned boredly in the back.
There are reasons why the Enhanced Senses Charm, a spell that sounds incredibly useful just from its description, has never been included in the curriculum and why no Quidditch player has specifically studied it.
The three stages Lupin described could actually be more accurately described as—
Phase One: Casting the spell also requires incantations and waving a wand.
Phase Two: Spellcasting only requires incantations.
Phase Three: Casting a spell to get rid of the incantation and wand.
In fact, regardless of the stage, it enhances nerve reflexes.
However, the Enhanced Senses Charm is easy to learn but difficult to master, and most wizards can only linger in the first stage.
Therefore, it is of little use in Quidditch, where magic is forbidden.
Moreover, in the first stage, the spell's duration is very short, and it takes a long time for the human brain to get used to this omnidirectional vision.
It is not practical in magical duels unless it is cast beforehand and one becomes accustomed to it.
It is only suitable for melee combat and cold/hot weapon warfare.
Most importantly, it was of little use to the perceptive Basil.
A 360-degree field of vision is a function that his 'Golden Eyes' inherently possess.
The methods of using the Enhanced Senses Charm to train the senses were not suitable for him.
However, Lupin always seemed to spread this spell specifically for himself.
The Enhanced Senses Charm is frequently used by the Werewolf Capture Task Force, which belongs to the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.
It is a spell specifically developed for dealing with agile and dangerous Magical Creature like Werewolf.
The first stage of the Enhanced Senses Charm is enough to make a wizard's neural reflexes surpass those of Werewolf.
While Basil was distracted, Lupin had already finished teaching the incantation and the corresponding wand-waving techniques.
Hold the wand at eye level and chant the incantation [Perception Enhancement].
Then pull it outwards to its limit, and twist your wrist so that the tip of the cane touches your brow.
"Practice on your own first," Lupin said after demonstrating. "If you succeed, raise your hand, walk to my right, and turn your back to Peeves."
"You can attack the student to my right at Peeves."
On the grassy area by Black Lake, a sound of Perception Enhancement.
The magic wand is waved.
Ron and Harry were standing too close, and Ron suddenly gave Harry a hard elbow.
Draco, who had lost interest in wizarding magic, was unusually serious this time and almost poked his own eye with too much force.
However, it is clear that wizards with shorter wands have an advantage when casting Enhanced Senses Charm.
They only need to slightly rotate their wrists, and the tip of the cane can touch their brow.
And for wands that are long, in addition to twisting the wrist, the elbow also needs to be pulled outwards.
But Basil's focus is not on this.
He suddenly remembered a book he had seen at the Ollivander store.
Most wands are between 9 and 14 inches long.
Both very short (less than 8 inches) and very long (more than 15 inches) wands exist.
Those who possess short wands often have personality flaws.
Long wand owners are often short in stature.
Basil initially thought it was Ollivander making a lewd joke.
But after observing it now, he realized that was indeed the case.
For example, Harry is relatively short, and his wand is relatively long—11 inches.
However, this theory does not seem to hold true entirely for Ron.
Willow wood, 14 inches, Unicorn Hair.
This is the data for Ron's newly purchased wand.
He does have personality flaws, so it's not surprising that his wand is long.
On the other hand, Ron is also very tall—relatively tall for his age.
Could it be that his personality flaws are so great that they overshadow his height advantage?
Basil did not continue thinking about it.
Because Ravenclaw's Anthony Goldstein had already raised his hand to indicate that he had succeeded.
This former Ravenclaw Overseer, a member of the Dumbledore's Army, strode proudly out of the crowd.
Damn! Trying to show off in front of me?
Basil could only raise his hand.
Next up is Hermione.
This immediately shattered the arrogance that the Ravenclaw had just felt.
Especially during the subsequent dodges, Hermione and Basil's movements were extremely subtle, always managing to evade the attacks perfectly.
Anthony, however, was panting heavily, covered in grass blades, and his hair was stained with moldy bits from being hit by the panel.
Seeing this, some students chose to practice even harder.
Draco was among them, and as he practiced, small Spark flew between his breaths.
Other students chose to cheer themselves on, as if they had already succeeded.
Most of them are girls.
Lisa Turpin of Ravenclaw, Padma Patil.
Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff, Susan Bones.
Parvati Patil of Gryffindor, Lavender Brown.
Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin, Millicent Pritchard, Daphne Greengrass.
They all gave up practicing, using their wands as cheering sticks, and jumping around while shouting Basil's full name.
Lupin wanted to stop it.
But he vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu.
By the Black Lake, James ruffled his hair and used a Golden Snitch and Peter as props to show off.
Sirius leaned lazily against the beech tree, his black hair hanging down in front of his eyes, inadvertently exuding a touch of elegance.
He didn't need to do anything like James to attract the girls' attention.
He stood quietly in the shadows, enjoying the happiness of having friends.
This moment is just like that moment back then.
Peeves became even more excited.
He was not angry at being fooled.
Born from the students' aversion to order, he was naturally more inclined towards disorder.
At this moment, the disorderly classroom made him feel right at home.
It seemed as if eight hands had suddenly grown out of his hands.

The 'weapon' in front of them vanished with lightning speed, flying directly into the crowd.
No longer limited to the areas specified by Lupin.
Harry had already mastered the basics of the Enhanced Senses Charm a minute ago, but with Ron by his side, he pretended not to have mastered it and instantly realized what was going on.
[Armor Charm]
Basil saves them from the clutches of the Three-Headed Dog, and the spell Harry has been practicing in secret comes into play at this moment.
Bench legs, soft-tipped arrows, bread slices, pine nuts, glass beads and other 'weapons' seemed to have hit an invisible solid wall, and instantly scattered.
[Freeze all targets]
Lupin snapped back to reality instantly; the power of the Full Body-Bind Curse halted the movement of the 'weapons,' leaving them suspended in mid-air.
Three seconds later, it landed vertically on the grass and the lake.
Lupin breathed a sigh of relief. "Well done, James Harry! Saving your classmate, Gryffindor 5 points."
"Peeves, I think you're no longer welcome in this class."
Peeves wasn't angry. He chuckled and squeaked, "Foolish Lupin, stupid Lupin."
"I don't need to stay here anymore."
"You listen?"
The bell rang, Peeves vanished into thin air with a "poof".
All that remained was a scene of utter chaos and his shrill laughter.
The class ended just like that.
After assigning the homework, Lupin announced the dismissal of the group.
The things on the grassland and the lake vaporized and dissipated after he uttered a spell.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Basil did not choose to return to the castle.
There's still some time before dinner.
Moreover, Hagrid was standing on the other side of the vegetable garden, waving at them.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Norberta." Upon seeing Hagrid, Ron's gloom from not completing the Enhanced Senses Charm vanished.
Basil just wanted to laugh. Seeing through Ron's heart, he realized that Ron wasn't happy to see Norberta again.
It was the Unicorn Tail Hair in Hagrid's cabin.
Although Ron still has 312 Galleon he earned last year, he still can't wait to pluck Hagrid's Unicorn Tail Hair again.
Harry was quite sincere.
As soon as he entered the wooden house, he walked straight to the Magical Creature Containment Box while dealing with Ya Ya's spit attack.
Unlike Ron, who stared at the ceiling as soon as he came in.
There were several copper kettles, cured hams, and a long, smooth, glossy white tuft of hair hanging there.
Hermione noticed this as well.
Ron also noticed that Hermione had noticed him.
His freckled face flushed red, and he muttered, "I'm just feeling sorry for Malfoy. He loved dragons the most, didn't he?"
"You don't know. I spent the summer with him. He's not a bad person."
The more he spoke, the more confident and self-assured he became, and the blush on his face gradually faded.
"Harry, should I go and call Malfoy?"
However, despite saying this, he didn't move an inch.
Although his head turned, his peripheral vision still lingered on the long, white hair that resembled moonlight.
Hermione gave him a disdainful look.
Hagrid didn't notice this.
He blocked Harry's way. "I'll go in first. You don't know how big Norberta has gotten."
"I don't know if he still recognizes you."
Then he crawled into the box and disappeared from the room.
Harry joined them later.
Ron glanced at the ceiling again, but out of pride, he crawled into the box.
A minute later, the little world Magical Creature Containment Box welcomed the four of them again.
Multicolored light shimmered within the yellow sand and gravel, revealing glass-like crystals.
The steep Gobi Desert was stained black with huge claw marks.
Scattered black, reflective scales shimmered in the crystal-clear lake.
The sheep that used to graze peacefully in the meadows have now hidden in the forest and become neighbors with the pheasants.
The forest was also cleared out.
It was obvious that a huge Beast was rampaging through this space.
But now, it has disappeared without a trace.
"Where is Norberta? Where is she?" Harry looked around.
Ron scratched the back of his head. As the middleman, he had read the instruction manual, but after a summer vacation, he had forgotten most of it. He felt that the answer was about to come to mind, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Haha, looks like Norberta is resting." Hagrid picked up the pink parasol placed beside the well that served as the entrance, raised it to the sky, and shouted, "Incendio!"
The bright yellow flames, as if falling into a funnel, were sucked in by the yellowish-white 'sun'.
A deafening, piercing roar instantly resounded through the sky.
A dark shadow, accompanied by a fierce wind, enveloped the four of them.
Whew!
The sound of windmill blades beating against the air filled the air.
A gigantic dragon appeared before them.
His bulging, orange-red vertical pupils scrutinized everyone except Hagrid.
And the next second that gaze fell on Basil.
Rumble!
The ground shook.
The fire dragon collapsed backward onto the ground.
Spiked black wings spread out, and the black ridges on its back rubbed against the ground.
As its belly was exposed, its long neck snaked around, and its ferocious head snorted obsequiously at Basil, Spark flying out.
Hagrid said, frustrated and jealous, "You always manage to win Norberta's favor, Basil."
"She has never shown her belly to me."
Harry, Ron, Hermione were speechless.
This is clearly a sign of weakness; the female Norwegian Ridgeback was larger and more ferocious than the male.
Even when they see a male they like, they simply raise their tails to make it easier for him to ride them.
There are absolutely no cases of someone exposing their belly like that.
