A: 3♥ - Your partner has shown a good hand with a good 5-card Heart suit.

A: 7♥ - You know your partner has Ace-King fifth in Hearts and the Ace of Diamonds. The Heart grand slam is a good bet, in case the Spades don't run.

Your partner's hand:

♠ 3
♥ A K J 8 3
♦ A 6 5 3
♣ 8 7 2

You need to ruff a Spade to set them up, or maybe 2 if they are 5-1, and you can make the slam easily.
