Peter could have started boarding school x, while Edmund was still at boarding school y.
And y could have been horrid to one but not the other. In real life, if I may mention a comparison, CSL had been one school behind WHL, his older brother. And "Wyvern" had clearly different effects on the two, Warnie rather liked it, Jack threatened his father with suicide (he had a gun, it was upper class and many were going to be officers) unless he were taken out of the school.

Like Warnie was better off at Wyvern than Jack?

And the part of school having different effects would be possible in the Wyvern perspective.
However, it seems both the Lewis brother's were first at Oldie's school, then Warnie went off to Wyvern, while Jack only was going to "Cherbourg" ("Wyvern" and "Cherbourg" are his changed names, he doesn't tell the real names of them), which in retrospect he found a bad influence (worldliness, interest in magic, atheism). (And by interest in magic, I do'nt mean reading Grimm, I mean reading Grimoires, if he could have found one).
Reason Jack went to Cherbourg is he was too young yet for Wyvern.
In other words, the fanfics have some sensible psychology in their authorship.

If they were sisters, even with different tastes and Mrs. Pevensie more conservative, why not? Even for sisters-in-law, she was not quite the Christian who could not bring herself about to take advice from an atheist, since if she had been, her children would already have known Jesus under His name "in our world".
