If I were barred from bidding 2♥, I would bid 1♥. Maybe I can catch up later. 2♦ is a huge overbid. Don't really like NT bids, although they might work well.

1- 2♥ for me. Pd sees that I did not overcall 1♥ over 1 ♦.
2- I don't know, anything but 1♥ looks ok to me.

I rank
- Pass = PEN. Lead a trump. (But if opps escape into 1♠ then bid 2♥).
- 2♥ = INV. Would like 5 ♥s for this bid.
- 1N = NAT. 8-11. Would prefer 2-3 ♠s for this bid.
- 1♥ = NAT.

1 - Pass. Your hand looks to have 3 tricks in Diamonds plus another 1 1/2 QTs. If partner has full value for the reopening double, opener could be going for a number. Even with a light distributional double you'll still likely to beat 1 ♦x.
2 - 1 ♥ - The diamond values are somewhat wasted and partner is normally assuming points in your hand to reopen. So your hand falls into a minimum category.
