La Coeur De la Mer –The Heart of the Ocean

'It doesn't necessarily mean that you will kill your grandparents you know.' Hermione was pulled out of her thoughts once more by Malfoy.

'What?' asked Hermione, momentarily stunned at the fact that he knew what she was thinking.

'The Grandfather Paradox. It doesn't mean that you have to kill your grandparents.' repeated Malfoy.

Hermione returns for her last year at Hogwarts, not having the best of summers. Harry and Ron are drifting away from her, her parents have broken up and one of her friends is dead. Hermione returns as Head Girl and the Headmaster has a crazy new idea for History of Magic – a practical. All seventh years are paired up and are required to go back into the past and experience a month in their past life. Hermione is partnered with the Head Boy, Draco Malfoy and it is revealed that there is more to the past then family lets on.

Hermione and Draco travel back to 1912 where their lives will change forever. An international disaster brings them together for the briefest of times before pulling them apart. One of them will not return from the practical. And how does a necklace link Draco's family to Hermione's family? Who really owns it and what is the hidden secret of the necklace?

This is my first time I've written a story like this. I've done other fan fictions that I might post one day. This story can get a bit confusing at times, especially with the Grandfather Paradox. I've tried to explain it as best I can. I dropped out of physics before we could tackle theoretical astrophysics and time travel. However, I have managed to secure my brother's notes and have worked in other sources as well. This story does contain adult themes and language. If you have a problem understanding any vernacular and terms, feel free to send me a PM. Please don't put it in a review. Please read and enjoy and let me know what you think.

Oh and please note that some words are spelt differently (e.g. Traveller and traveler) and that is because I am an Australian, so most words will be the Australian version and not the American version.
