The third trial of the tournament was a duel with a powerful wizard. Simmons had to use all of his power of absorption to survive the duel. He was able to turn himself into various materials to protect himself from the wizard's magical attacks. He soon found himself facing off against Voldemort himself. He used his power of absorption to turn Voldemort to stone, allowing him to pass by safely. He then found himself face to face with the Triwizard Cup. He had successfully completed the third trial and was now one step closer to becoming the Hogwarts champion.
