I am the ORIGINAL LADY SERADE, also known as SERADE BLACK in the HP Fanfiction world.

For those that have read my stuff, fear not, I am NOT gone. I have been banned
from ff.net due to my "mature content" in my fanfiction. Granted, that was years ago and they actually deleted my account entirely. Hence the "Returns" at the end of my author name. I see that rules have since laxed a bit, so perhaps unedited future stories might find their home here.

I will post both the M 16 and the MA versions. The M 16 will be posted here at FF.net...where here http://community.livejournal.com/seradesfanfics/ you can read the MA Harry potter stuff. There is where you'll be able to read the author's cut, but I will advise when you need to go there to get filled in. Until then, just read on, enjoy and if you are allowed to go to a higher rating, follow the LJ when the time comes. It's located on the far right column.

UPDATE 2/1/12 - I also publish (and have for some time) here: http://www.grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewuser.php?uid=1603

Everything is original author's stuff - no PG edits ;)

All trailers and banners as artwork were made by me, Serade Black, but I take no credit otherwise for the actors or pictures.

I dove into the HP fandom, unfortunately leaving A Sad Love behind. I've NOT abandoning it, as I do intend on finishing it one day. I've got the story (and sequel) in my mind...it's just a matter of putting the time and dedication into it that I do my Sirius/Hermione ship.

Sirius and Hermione are my ship of choice and I love the two of them together. It's a known fact that Gary Oldman is and will always be my Sirius. I'm a strong fan of the ever-changing actor and well, he just wets my lips...you know ;) Thank you to those that have stuck with me, I feed off the encouragement, comments and ideas in your reviews. It reminds me that people actually read these stories I think up!

...please enjoy!

4/1/10 Update I'll be attending my 6th Harry Potter Symposium this summer. I'll be at Infinitus in Orlando this July (www.Infinitus2010.org for details) and will be involved in the Live! Human Combat Wizard Chessmatch playing Bellatrix as well as (hopefully) presenting at least two different presentations on Sirius/hermione and the Black Sisters again. Would love to meet some of you...if you get there!!

2/1/12 UPDATE - Thank you for leaving me awesome reviews and thoughts! I apologize for my lack of updating (Perchance to Dream WILL finish...because I have another one I want to write and I never write/post 2 stories at the same time). I had a baby boy in August named Tristan and he took up ALL my time. My husband can only do so much when I want to sneek away and read/write fanfiction! Alas, I am getting to the grind. I'll also be attending (and performing) at ASCENDIO this summer (of 2012) and hope to meet some of you there!

5/13/12 - SEE YOU ALL AT ASCENDIO (google it, HP convention in Orlando)
