The Clovers || h.p.

"How long do you think they'll last?"

"I don't know, Evans and Snape didn't last two years, and they were inseparable."

"Yeah, heard Snape introduced her to magic."

"Yet they didn't last two years in rival houses."

"What about the new chicks? Do you think they'll last?"

"I don't know, they're all in separate houses. I doubt they'll find time for each other."

"How much do you want to give it?"

"Ten galleons on the end of the year."

"I'll bind you on that one."

Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in the year 1974 is welcoming four foreign exchange students- from Nepal. The Clovers.

Hogwarts- oft recognized as a place where you find friends as close as family, more importantly as a place where you find yourself - is brutal when it comes to relations from before students started going to the institute. Take Severus and Lily for example, they had been inseparable before boarding the train, but then they got sorted into different houses and next thing you know, they aren't even in speaking terms. That's how Hogwarts works see, in mysterious ways. It creates bonds, yes, but it also breaks them.

What happens when four best friends, the renowned group that went by the name of Clovers, are accepted into one of the most eminent wizarding school in the world? Four best friends, four best friends with a bond as strong as the infamous Marauders, perhaps even more. What happens when Hogwarts works against their friendship, separating the quartet into the four different houses? What happens when the best of friends are put in the houses with the strongest rivalry? Will they get sucked in the house rivalry just like how Hogwarts wants them to? Or will they rise beyond such petty house rivalries? Will they defy Hogwarts's plans to dissociate the Clovers? Will their friendship prove itself?

Will they last?
