The first trial of the tournament was a magical maze filled with dangerous creatures and challenging obstacles. Simmons was determined to survive the maze and prove himself to be worthy of the title of Hogwarts champion. He soon found himself facing off against a giant troll. He used his power of absorption to turn the troll to stone, allowing him to pass by safely. He then encountered a series of magical creatures, which he was able to defeat with his newfound powers. Finally, he reached the center of the maze and found the Triwizard Cup. He had successfully completed the first trial and was now one step closer to becoming the Hogwarts champion.
