If you just save them and replant next autumn, you are unlikely to get any
flowers.
Your best plan is to keep them alive in the pots by watering them, and
planting them out in the open ground in the spring.

Not worth storing them. But you can plant the permanently outdoors once
the weather warms up a bit and they will probably give you some flowers
in the garden next year. That is what I do with mine. Some prepared
bulbs will take more than one year to get the bulb back into flowering
condition.

It isn't worth bring them in as house plants two years running. It takes
far too much out of the bulb and they need a sheltered sunny spot
outside.
