Maybe you would never have decided to pass this hand 2nd seat. Irrelevant to this auction, but I respect that. Having passed, though, playing 3♥ as a game force in a relatively simple 2/1 system, what now?

edit: playing 2-way drury & fit jumps as a passed hand, so no minor suit call was possible, though I wonder what 2N would be in this auction....

3NT now.
And I think it is wrong not to have a way to bid minor suits as a PH when pd opens 1M. If you need 2m bids for Drury , find some alternatives (3m, 2NT...)

3♥ might be 54?

IMO now 4♣ is a cuebid for hearts, so only 3NT is left.

I know an expert who uses 2NT! ( as a passed hand) over partner's 1M open to show:
" 9-11 points with one of the minors (with) at least a good 6 card suit as you must be prepared to play opposite a singleton (with a poor suit, bid a semiforcing NT); pard (then) bids 3C ( over the 2NT ) for pass or correct to 3D. "

He uses 2C and 2D as 2-way Drury and
the direct 3C and 3D as fit-showing-jumps.
