I was on my way to Castle Volkihar with Serana, during "Kindred Judgment" (DG side). On the road in the hills of Haafingar I kinda miscalculated an encounter and ended up with a 40 gold bounty.
I decided to spend the night (it was around midnight) in Rimerock and in the morning head back to Dragon Bridge to pay off the bounty.
After I exited the cave in the morning, I used Ice Form (all three Words) on Serana to prevent her from attacking anyone - I knew normally non-hostile NPCs would most likely insta-aggro on me because of the recent bounty.
Later, after I'd been teleported to Solitude and left the city, I used Ice Form again, just because I found it really fun.
Even later at Castle Volkihar Serana was nowhere to be seen. She didn't appear when I entered the castle, nor did she show up to confront her father, whom I then fought on my own (gotta love how he triggers dragon battle music ).
I've now been fast-travelling around Skyrim (including both DG faction HQs) after completing the quest(line), but still no Serana. I asked Lydia to follow me, but like I suspected, she told me I already had someone with me.
Now I've got two options: continue from here, unable to have a non-quest follower OR go back to an earlier save and re-do everything from that night spent in Rimerock. Decisions, decisions...
I hardly ever use followers, so continuing from here is tempting...
