Mandy here,
The serving time in detention together is not an indication of the 
four friends being in the same house.

Kids sent to detention will often serve it together regardless of 
house or age.  

A school will only, generally, have one teacher on detention duty on 
any given night and all kids; boys, girls, 1st years through 5th 
years of all houses will serve together, doing tasks like lines, 
homework, taking a test, etc. (Although, interestingly, not the 6th 
or 7th year kids, the 16-18 year olds.  They are often treated 
differently, as they are considered practically adults and in many 
English schools they are kept as separate from the 12-15 year olds as 
much as possible.)  

Occasionally a child might be put into a separate detention with a 
specific task, if the punishment warrants it. For example Harry, 
Neville and Draco served detention with Hagrid in their first year 
because they were caught breaking the rules and McGonagall wanted to 
teach them a lesson in what could happen if they broke school rules 
outside. Hence detention with Hagrid, the grounds keeper, in the 
Forbidden Forest. 

I for one am a big believer in the four being in different houses.   
Remus in Ravenclaw, James in Gryffindor, Sirius in Slytherin and 
Peter in Hufflepuff. Or possible James in Slytherin with Sirius. I 
went to school with a house system and my circle of friends all came 
from different houses, although we spent as much time as possible 
together.  The House Common Room is not the only place to hand out 
with friends in a boarding school.
