I didn't dare ask
Nor do we know whether 2/1 is g.f. only that it was the response to the 1S opening bid.

If 3h doesn't require extras, its the obvious call.
If 3h would require extras, then you need to have a FORCING catch-all that opener can bid on minimums. Normally this call is 2s.
If your agreements imply that 2s is not forcing and also that 3h shows extras, then your system is broken.

I am pretty sure the OP is Dutch (the 'vd' in his name will stand for 'van de' or something similar).
MF = GF.
His question is what to bid if a 2/1 shows 10+ and a raise to 3♥ would be game forcing.

To Trinidad:
Indeed I am from Belgium
sorry for MF (forcing "manche" in my language)
as Trinidad writes: it must be GF

I would rebid 2♠. Given the nature of the 2/1 bid and the rest of the system, the 2♠ bid is essentially a "mark-time" bid, saying absolutely nothing other than the inability to make any other call.

The choice of mark-time bid is a matter for partnership agreement. Some play that rebidding the opening major shows additional length, so 2NT is the default rebid with nothing extra. Others play that 2NT shows stoppers in the unbid suits, so 2♠ is the default rebid.

Partner has five hearts, and I have three of them. So, I raise.

Read the OP, he said that 3♥ would establish a game force. Are you really strong enough for that?
