Personally, I'd pot up with the noses just below the surface, damp soil (but not wet) and keep on the dry side, outdoors, until they sprout. After that I'd water normally.

You may not be able to keep them for use next season but you'll probably get some joy of them.

Being planted close to the surface means they're likely to begin creating bulblets which you can grow on, though they may never reach the 'magnificence' of the fresh-bought bulbs.

Conversely, try a few planted at the correct depth but in a cooler spot than usual and 'see what happens.' It can be hard to say precisely without really knowing the soil and the micro-climate available to you.
