Dec 13, 2017 at 10:14 comment added Jason Starr @DanielLoughran. Yes, that is what I am claiming. For the change of variables, $[u,v,z]=[x-y\sqrt{a},x+y\sqrt{a},z]$, the closed subscheme is $\text{Zero}(uv-tz^2)\subset \mathbb{P}^2\times \mathbb{G}_m$. There is a (non-Galois-invariant) section of the projection to $\mathbb{G}_m$ given by $\text{Zero}(v,z)$. The invertible sheaf of that section is the unique ample generator of the Picard group of the Picard group of $X\times_{\text{Spec}\ k}\text{Spec}\ k(\sqrt{a})$. Thus, the invertible sheaf is Galois invariant, even though the divisor is not Galois invariant.
Dec 13, 2017 at 5:15 comment added Daniel Loughran I'm just trying to make all this very explicit. A special case of your construction is the following. Let $a$ be a non-square in $k$. Then take $$X: x^2 -ay^2 = tz^2 \quad \subset \mathbb{P}^2 \times \mathbb{G}_m.$$ This is conic bundle over $\mathbb{G}_m$ with a rational point. There is no section over $k$, but are you claiming that the the class in the Picard group of a section over $k(\sqrt{a})$ is Galois invariant?
