I evaluated your arguments, I precisely showed how you were wrong in one case (his words didn't exactly echo her thought), how her eyes burning can't be treated as evidence of Legimancy if burning eyes are never correlated with Legimancy.
At this point the only specific argument you got left that I didn't address was that Quirrel is mentioned staring at her. So here, let me address that one as well: In chapter 70 (one of the Self Actualization chapters) Quirrel is again mentioned to be looking at her:
Then Professor Quirrell’s gaze shifted away from Tracey, he was looking at her, the pale blue eyes staring at her with an awful intensity— “Tell me, Miss Granger. Do you have an ambition?
But we are pretty certain there was no Legimancy done back there, because when her mind was later examined, Legimancy had only been used on her in January (back when Dumbledore communicated with her)
So tell me, chaosmosis, which argument of yours have I now failed to evaluate? Do you have a fourth suspicious sentence?
I'm downvoting this comment, btw, as you falsely accused me, as you ignored my own arguments, as you failed to show where I was supposedly ignoring your, as you don't indicate where I was being disingenuous, and as you didn't provide three of the many ways that Hermione might have had to step away from Quirrel.
The next discussion thread is here.
This is a new thread to discuss Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and anything related to it. This thread is intended for discussing chapter 84. The previous thread has passed 500 comments. Comment in the 14th thread until you read chapter 84.
There is now a site dedicated to the story at hpmor.com, which is now the place to go to find the authors notes and all sorts of other goodies. AdeleneDawner has kept an archive of Author’s Notes. (This goes up to the notes for chapter 76, and is now not updating. The authors notes from chapter 77 onwards are on hpmor.com.)
The first 5 discussion threads are on the main page under the harry_potter tag. Threads 6 and on (including this one) are in the discussion section using its separate tag system. Also: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
As a reminder, it’s often useful to start your comment by indicating which chapter you are commenting on.
Spoiler Warning: this thread is full of spoilers. With few exceptions, spoilers for MOR and canon are fair game to post, without warning or rot13. More specifically:
