I'm almost certain that this is Shadowland by Peter Straub. The younger boys were named Del and Tom, and the older boy Skeleton Ridpath was a prefect at the school they were attending. The scene where Skeleton died in the fire in the auditorium wasn't at the end, it was much earlier in the book, at the end of a magic show that Del and Tom had been performing for the school.
