Prompt 44 - double

Everyone has their guilty pleasure. It could be anything from a cup of cocoa before bed to having your house elf give you daily foot massages. For Scabior it was ice cream. It didn't matter if it was the middle of winter with snow up past his boots. He always had to have ice cream, rain or shine, summer or winter, any time of the day or night.

He loved it so much that the term "double scoop of ice cream" developed a new meaning. To him it meant leaving two scoops of ice cream for the next person that came along. He saw this as being rather generous, because he could easily finish off the entire thing without so much as a thought for anyone else.

The idea came to him one evening during dinner. Scabior wanted some ice cream for dessert, but he knew his girlfriend would throw a fit if he ate it all.

'Hmm, one scoop or two?' he mused, drumming his fingers on the countertop. He started piling the ice cream in a bowl until the container was almost empty. 'I'll leave two scoops.'

Ever since then "double scoop of ice cream" meant leaving two scoops in the container. Just enough so that he didn't get in trouble for eating it all.
