2S. The Ds are not quite good enough to bid 3. 2H is forcing.

3D.

Independent fo the meaning of 2H, which could be natural or
artificial.
3D showes a min opener with 6 diamonds, denies 4 hearts,
3 spades and a club stopper, seems perfect.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: After reading some other posts - 2S is certainly ok, although
it depends, if you regular raise with 3 card support direct to 2S,
than partner wont expect 3 cards if you now bid 2S.
With kind regards

2 ♥ is non forcing to me so I can pass.

But with an unknown expert I would take it as forcing and bid 3 Diamond. I would hate it, but I would hate bidding spades with xx even more.
Kind Regards
